UNSPSC 50604904: Frozen Non GMO red in snow mustard

The variety of Non GMO mustard known as Non GMO red in snow mustard 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 50604904 Frozen Non GMO red in snow mustard (Commodity) captures shelf-stable and frozen food products that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers purchasing broadly scoped food items — canned proteins, vegetables, dairy, grains, condiments, and specialty products — rather than the narrowly named frozen mustard variant alone. The issuing bodies span county purchasing offices, state agencies, and independent school districts, each managing nutrition programs or institutional food service across multiple sites or constituent schools.

Georgia represents the primary recent activity, with the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners soliciting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (IWQ 140229, informal written quotes due October 19, 2026), the State of Georgia requesting bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education issuing a line-by-line bid for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools (PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026). The Early County solicitation emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with awards made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and contract terms running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with extension options. School district and county food-service procurements typically require compliance with Buy American, HACCP, E-Verify, general liability insurance ($500,000 minimum in the Early County case), and food recall procedures, with delivery windows and temperature controls specified for perishables.
