UNSPSC 50604109: Frozen Non GMO dill

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO dill 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 50604109 Frozen Non GMO dill is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure frozen dill for institutional food service operations, particularly school meal programs. The code captures a narrow product line within broader food-supply solicitations that bundle vegetables, proteins, dairy, and ancillary items into single RFQs or line-item bids. State and local issuing bodies acquiring under this code include state purchasing offices, school districts, and other entities managing National School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Program menus. The recent opportunities show that dill is typically bid as part of a larger produce or vegetable line, with vendors expected to meet USDA sourcing preferences, organic or non-GMO formulations where specified, and delivery into school kitchens on defined schedules.

The most recent activity appears in Georgia and Georgia's Early County Schools district. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid (PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300 food items for three schools under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, with delivery Monday through Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) with specific line-item detail in an attached PDF. Both solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP plans, carry $500,000 general liability insurance, provide food recall procedures, and allow piggybacking by other school districts; bid prices must include packing and transportation with no separate fuel charges, and remain firm for 15 days from award.
