UNSPSC 50603704: Frozen Non GMO perfection fennel

The variety of Non GMO fennel known as Non GMO perfection fennel that has been frozen for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50603704 Frozen Non-GMO Perfection Fennel is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect frozen fennel procurement. Instead, the opportunities show purchasing of broad food-service portfolios — shelf-stable grocery items, school lunch and breakfast program staples, and kitchen supplies — where fennel appears incidentally if at all, and frozen vegetables are bundled within larger multi-line food buys rather than sourced as specialty produce. The scope of work being solicited includes canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and soups through county and state purchasing; National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program staples including meats, poultry, dairy, fruits, grains, and condiments through school districts; and non-food supplies such as food-service disposables and janitorial equipment. The issuing bodies span county governments, state agencies, and independent school districts, with Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education each posting in the recent window.

Georgia accounts for all three posted opportunities in the recent window: Gwinnett County issued an IWQ on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 response date; and Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid for National School Lunch and Breakfast Program support on May 11, 2026 due June 8, 2026, with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Gwinnett County and Early County opportunities specify domestic sourcing preferences, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. No recent opportunities reflect procurement of frozen fennel as a standalone product or specialty item.
