UNSPSC 50604202: Frozen Non GMO collard greens

The variety of Non GMO kale known as Non GMO collard greens that have 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 50604202 Frozen Non GMO collard greens is a Commodity code capturing shelf-stable and perishable vegetable products that state and local governments procure for food service operations, senior nutrition programs, and school meal services. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies buying frozen vegetables and related food products as part of broader food-supply contracts rather than in isolation. The issuing bodies span county purchasing offices, state procurement departments, and school districts—all operating food service or nutrition assistance programs that require regular replenishment of ingredient inventories.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia, with Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education all issuing food-supply solicitations in the May–October 2026 window. Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026) is an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins for the Department of Community Services, with F.O.B. Destination delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center and a December 7, 2026 receipt deadline. Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (due June 8, 2026) solicits 300+ food items spanning vegetables, dairy, grains, and condiments to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with weekly delivery Monday through Friday and contract performance from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia's food, supplies, and other kitchen products RFQ (due June 22, 2026) does not detail line items in the posted summary. Frozen vegetables appear within these broader food-service portfolios rather than as standalone commodity orders.
