UNSPSC 50604112: Frozen Non GMO lemon grass

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO lemon grass 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 50604112 Frozen Non GMO lemon grass is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The two most recent opportunities tagged under this code—Georgia's food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) and Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid (PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026)—describe broad food service procurement covering meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments, bread products, fluid milk, and non-food supplies. Neither solicitation details frozen non-GMO lemongrass as a line item or discusses specialty herbs or spices. The code's nominal scope does not align with what these issuing bodies are actually buying under the broader food-procurement categorization.

State and local food procurement in this sample spans a state department (Georgia) and a school district (Early County Board of Education), with the school district emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Activity appears concentrated in Georgia. The Early County Board of Education opportunity is the more detailed posting, seeking line-by-line bids across approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies for a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract with renewal options; the district requires HACCP compliance, $500,000 general liability insurance, Buy American compliance, and allows piggybacking by other school districts. Without recent activity explicitly soliciting frozen non-GMO lemongrass, pursuit under this Commodity code appears not viable based on current state and local posting patterns.
