UNSPSC 50603907: Frozen Non GMO smooth loofah

The variety of Non GMO gourds known as Non GMO smooth loofah that have 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 50603907 Frozen Non GMO smooth loofah, a Commodity code, shows no meaningful state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's title references a personal-care or cleaning product, but the recent opportunities tagged under it concern food service procurement — specifically frozen and fresh produce, grocery items, eggs, and related food products for school nutrition programs and state operations. These are substantively unrelated to the loofah product category the code nominally describes, indicating a classification mismatch in the source data rather than actual market demand under this code.

The recent opportunities reflect active school nutrition and food service procurement across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas through school districts and state agencies. Douglas County School System (Georgia) solicited fresh produce and eggs with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million across two geographic areas via RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, encompassing 300+ food items plus non-food supplies for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited grocery items with over 900 line items via electronic NUTRIKIDS system by April 29, 2026. Dallas Independent School District (Texas) issued an RFP for various food products due April 2, 2026. The State of Georgia posted solicitations for fresh produce (IFB #4, due May 27, 2026) and general food supplies (due June 22, 2026). These opportunities reflect standard school food service procurement patterns—firm pricing, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, liability insurance requirements, and contract terms running through June 30, 2027 with renewal options—but do not substantiate demand under the frozen loofah commodity code itself.
