UNSPSC 50604104: Frozen Non GMO caraway

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO caraway 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 50604104 Frozen Non-GMO Caraway, a Commodity code, has virtually no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The eight recent opportunities tagged under or near this code address broad school nutrition procurement — frozen foods, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive food service distribution — but none specifically solicit frozen caraway or spice-line items at the granular level the code name suggests. The opportunities posted between January and May 2026 reflect generalized food-service buying patterns across Georgia and Texas school districts, where scope encompasses entire meal programs rather than individual commodity lines.

State and local issuing bodies executing these procurements are predominantly school districts (Henry County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System) and one state purchasing entity (Georgia). The Douglas County School System appears twice in the recent record as lead procuring agent for the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts. Representative recent opportunities include Henry County Schools' IFB (PE67510NONST2026000000030, due May 5, 2026) for food items and products across 52 schools; City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (PE77310NONST2026000000018, due May 15, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across 30 districts). Georgia and Texas dominate recent activity, with no comparable procurement signals in other states visible in the source. The code shows no specialized caraway-specific demand and should be monitored for future activity rather than pursued under current market conditions.
