UNSPSC 50605103: Frozen Non GMO clemson spineless okra

The variety of Non GMO okra known as Non GMO clemson spineless okra 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 50605103 Frozen Non GMO Clemson Spineless Okra is a Commodity code that represents a single frozen vegetable product line. State and local governments procure frozen okra as part of broader food-service supply contracts, typically for school nutrition programs and institutional food operations. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show little activity specifically targeting frozen okra as a line item; instead, they reflect broader procurement for frozen foods, grocery items, fresh produce, and comprehensive food-service supply. School districts, county school systems, and state agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with solicitations emphasizing compliance with USDA standards, Buy American requirements, HACCP food-safety plans, and low-sodium or whole-grain specifications. Early County Board of Education (Georgia), the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posted food-service solicitations in the first quarter of 2026 that encompass frozen vegetable items within larger commodity baskets.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri. The Early County Board of Education issued an IFB (due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB (due May 15, 2026) for frozen foods and grocery items for ten school sites, requiring whole-grain standards, low-sodium formulations, and HACCP compliance. Rockwood R-VI School District posted an electronic bid (due April 29, 2026) for over 900 grocery line items including snacks, vegetables, fruits, breads, and dairy for approximately 6,900 daily lunch participants. Dallas Independent School District issued an RFP (due April 2, 2026) for various food products not available through main commodity bids, delivered to the Maria Luna Food Service Facilities Warehouse. Douglas County School System issued an RFP (due February 18, 2026) for a main-line food distributor serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million. None of these solicitations appear to isolate frozen okra as a standalone procurement vehicle; the code shows no targeted demand signal for this specific product and likely represents a misclassification within broader frozen-vegetable procurement activity.
