UNSPSC 50604200: Frozen Non GMO kale

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO kale 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 50604200 Frozen Non GMO Kale is a Class code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service, including school lunch programs, senior services, and general meal provision. Recent solicitations show that the code encompasses a much broader range of food items than the nominal code name suggests — state and local buyers are acquiring everything from canned proteins, grains, and produce to dairy products, meats, poultry, seafood, condiments, bread meeting USDA whole-grain specifications, and fluid milk in multiple fat and lactose-free formulations. Issuing bodies include county commissions, state departments, and independent school districts; Early County Board of Education and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners appear as repeat buyers in the recent record.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia, with recent solicitations from Gwinnett County (IWQ 140229 requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items via informal written quote due October 19, 2026), Early County Board of Education (FY27 Food Bid requesting 300+ food items plus non-food and paper supplies via line-by-line bid due June 8, 2026), and the State of Georgia (PE55645NONST2026000000009 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products via IFB due June 22, 2026). Gwinnett County's quote process specifies delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center with F.O.B. destination terms and inside delivery required within 72 hours of order; Early County emphasizes domestic sourcing, low-sodium formulations, products without added sugars or artificial additives, and compliance with Buy American provisions and E-Verify requirements.
