UNSPSC 50604005: Frozen Non GMO sugar snap peas

The variety of Non GMO green peas known as Non GMO sugar snap peas 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 50604005 Frozen Non GMO Sugar Snap Peas is a Commodity code covering frozen vegetable products procured by state and local governments for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and general operations. State and local buyers under this code are purchasing frozen produce items—including snap peas and similar vegetables—as line items within broader school meal, food service, and kitchen-supply solicitations. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school systems (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Dallas Independent School District) and state agencies (State of Georgia). These buyers source frozen and fresh produce as components of comprehensive child nutrition service contracts that typically span hundreds of line items across multiple produce categories, dairy, proteins, grains, and supplies, often with annual expenditures ranging from low single-digit millions to nine million dollars per procurement.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative solicitations include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) encompassing approximately 300 food items with emphasis on domestic sourcing and low-sodium, whole-grain, and additive-free formulations; the State of Georgia's IFB for fresh produce (due May 27, 2026); City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) requiring HACCP plans and 24/7 recall accessibility; the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery-item solicitation (due April 29, 2026) with 900-plus line items; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's annual fresh-produce contract (due April 23, 2026) covering 72 produce items with Net 40 payment terms; and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) serving 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two). School districts typically require firm pricing for the full contract period, compliance with Buy American and USDA food-safety standards, HACCP documentation, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000), and delivery to multiple school sites within specified time windows on Monday through Friday.
