UNSPSC 50603911: Frozen Non GMO tindoori gourds

The variety of Non GMO gourds known as Non GMO tindoori gourds 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 50603911 Frozen Non GMO tindoori gourds is a Commodity code that nominally targets a narrow produce subcategory, but recent state and local opportunities show little alignment with the code's specific product scope. The three recent opportunities posted under this code solicit general food procurement — shelf-stable items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces), fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments — rather than frozen specialty gourds. State and local issuing bodies using the code include county departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state governments (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). The work itself spans routine food service supply chains for social services, institutional feeding programs, and school meal compliance under federal nutrition standards.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, with recent solicitations from Gwinnett County, the State of Georgia, and Early County. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, with delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026 and award to the lowest responsive bidder per unit of measure. The State of Georgia posted a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 response date, scope and pricing contained in the attached solicitation document. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line bid on May 11, 2026 for approximately 300+ food items and 60 non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026, contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and award to the lowest responsive bidder approximately 60 days after bid opening. The code shows limited decision relevance for vendors targeting frozen specialty produce — recent opportunities reflect general institutional food procurement mistagged under this narrow commodity classification.
