UNSPSC 50604111: Frozen Non GMO fenugreek

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO fenugreek 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 50604111 Frozen Non GMO fenugreek is a Commodity code covering specialized frozen produce ingredients that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs, though recent activity shows limited direct solicitation specifically for this item. The code encompasses frozen fenugreek and similar botanically derived food ingredients supplied to institutional food service operations. School districts dominate solicitation activity under broader frozen and grocery procurement frameworks that encompass this commodity category, with recent opportunities posted by Georgia school systems (Douglas County, Henry County, City Schools of Decatur, Early County), Texas school districts (Dallas ISD), and state procurement offices. The Georgia Department of Education and individual school district nutrition programs are the primary repeat issuing bodies, soliciting through their procurement portals using cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative.

Recent opportunities in Georgia show school districts issuing Invitations for Bid and Requests for Proposal for comprehensive frozen food and fresh produce procurement rather than line-item fenugreek purchases. Henry County Schools issued dual IFBs in March 2026 (PE55645NONST2026000000009 and PE67510NONST2026000000047, due May 5, 2026) for food items across 52 schools with weekly delivery requirements and cold storage compliance. City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items on April 16, 2026 (PE77310NONST2026000000018, due May 15, 2026) for ten school sites with HACCP plan requirements and $1,000,000 general liability minimums. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line food bids covering 300+ items on May 11, 2026 (PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) emphasizing domestic sourcing and whole-grain specifications. Douglas County School System posted an RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative on February 4, 2026 (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due March 4, 2026) representing 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One. Dallas ISD issued an RFP on February 22, 2026 (JC250079, due April 2, 2026) for various food products including spice and ice cream lots for the 2026-2027 school year.
