UNSPSC 50604105: Frozen Non GMO chervil

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO chervil 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 50604105 Frozen Non GMO chervil is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty fresh-frozen culinary herbs and botanical products for institutional food service, based on state and local procurement activity that spans broader frozen food and meal-service supply chains. The source records show school districts and state agencies soliciting frozen produce and specialty food ingredients as components of larger nutrition-service contracts rather than chervil as a standalone line item. State and local governments procure frozen produce through integrated food-service distribution agreements supporting school breakfast and lunch programs, with institutional buyers emphasizing USDA sourcing compliance, cold-chain logistics, HACCP food safety certification, and delivery-ready palletization. Issuing bodies include school districts of varying size (ranging from single-district IFBs to multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles), county school systems, city school systems, and state procurement offices. Early County Board of Education, Henry County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County School System (serving 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative), Dallas Independent School District, and the State of Georgia all issued competing solicitations between January and June 2026 for food products encompassing frozen vegetables, produce, and related items under school nutrition programs.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Texas. The Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs (February 2026, due March 4, 2026) estimated $4.4 million annually for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across 30 districts, with sealed proposals evaluated March 9–13, 2026, and awards made on a line-item basis to qualified vendors demonstrating five years' experience with public school systems and maintaining $1 million general liability insurance. Henry County Schools (March 2026, bid deadline May 5, 2026) sought food items and products for 52 school locations with weekly deliveries, EDI integration, and USDA commodity management capabilities. City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (April 2026, due May 15, 2026) requiring HACCP plans, 24/7 recall accessibility, and annual mock-recall capability at vendor expense, with a July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 initial contract term. Dallas Independent School District (February 2026, due April 2, 2026) sought various food products for the 2026–2027 school year with awards to the most responsive, compliant vendor offering best value based on lowest price, evaluating quality, specifications compliance, and commitment to minority and women-owned business enterprise programs. All contracts require FOB delivery with no separate fuel surcharges, firm pricing subject to limited escalation tied to verified market indices, and compliance with Buy American and E-Verify requirements where applicable.
