UNSPSC 50604119: Frozen Non GMO recao

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO recao 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 50604119 Frozen Non-GMO cacao is a Commodity code capturing specialty frozen cocoa products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show minimal direct procurement activity and instead reflect broader food-service categories. The recent opportunities capture general institutional food buying — school lunch programs and state kitchen-product procurement — where frozen specialty cocoa appears unlikely to be a primary line item. State and local buyers soliciting under this code acquire food products, supplies, and kitchen goods to support operational food service, with school districts and state agencies as the primary issuing bodies. Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid emphasizes line-by-line sourcing of meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments delivered to multiple school sites; the State of Georgia's parallel food-supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) reflects comparable institutional food procurement scope across state facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with Early County Schools (IFB issued May 11, 2026, response due June 8, 2026) and the State of Georgia (IFB issued May 15, 2026, response due June 22, 2026) posting the primary opportunities visible under this code. Early County's solicitation emphasizes domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with award based on lowest responsive and responsible bidder approximately 60 days after bid opening; vendors must comply with Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP plans, carry $500,000 general liability insurance, and allow piggybacking by other school districts. The code shows limited recent activity overall, suggesting either sparse demand for frozen specialty cocoa in state and local procurement or a tagging mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought under it.
