UNSPSC 50604108: Frozen Non GMO curry leaves

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO curry leaves 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 50604108 Frozen Non GMO curry leaves is a Commodity code that represents specialty frozen produce items procured by state and local governments for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code focus on comprehensive fresh and frozen food procurement for K-12 school districts, with scope spanning main-line food distribution, specialty produce, spices, dairy, proteins, and supporting non-food items required to operate school breakfast and lunch programs. The actual buying activity reflects broad food service categories rather than the narrow curry-leaves specification alone; school districts are soliciting vendors capable of supplying diverse frozen and fresh produce, specialty ingredients, and full-service food distribution alongside USDA commodity management and cold-chain logistics.

School districts and school system cooperative purchasing entities dominate the issuing bodies under this code. Primary recent solicitors include Henry County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education, and Douglas County School System in Georgia; Dallas Independent School District in Texas; and the State of Georgia purchasing office for general food supplies. The geographic footprint centers on Georgia and Texas, with multiple concurrent RFPs and IFBs posted in March and April 2026. Henry County Schools issued two separate solicitations in March 2026 (due May 4–5, 2026) seeking food items and products across 52 school locations with weekly delivery, USDA commodity management, and EDI integration; Douglas County School System posted dual RFPs in January and February 2026 (due February 18 and March 4, 2026) for a main-line food distributor serving 32 schools with $9 million annual estimated spend and fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district buying cooperative with $4.4–$1.1 million regional budgets; City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB in April 2026 (due May 15, 2026) for frozen foods and grocery items for the 2026-2027 school year; and Dallas ISD issued an RFP on February 22, 2026 (due April 2, 2026) for specialty food products including spices and ice cream not covered under primary commodity bids. All contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with optional renewals, mandate Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, $500,000–$2 million liability insurance, and firm pricing with quarterly or semi-annual adjustment provisions tied to USDA and CPI indices.
