UNSPSC 50604113: Frozen Non GMO marjoram

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO marjoram 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 50604113 Frozen Non GMO marjoram is a Commodity code covering specialty frozen herb products, specifically non-genetically modified marjoram, procured by state and local school districts and food service departments as part of broader kitchen and meal-service supply chains. State and local governments buy this item as a line-item component within larger food and meal-service solicitations rather than as a standalone commodity. The issuing bodies include school districts managing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program procurement, and state departments purchasing food supplies for institutional kitchens. School districts dominate recent activity under this code tier, reflecting the steady requirement for standardized, USDA-compliant food ingredients across public school food service operations.

Recent activity centers in Georgia. Early County Board of Education posted an FY27 Food Bid (Solicitation PE55045NONST2027000000006) on May 11, 2026, with a due date of June 8, 2026, requesting line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and miscellaneous products to support three schools; the contract period runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with options to extend and renew. The State of Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) on May 15, 2026, with responses due June 22, 2026. Both opportunities emphasize domestic sourcing preferences, low-sodium formulations, and products without artificial additives. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP certification, carry $500,000 general liability insurance, and allow piggybacking by other school districts on identical terms.
