UNSPSC 50605106: Frozen Non GMO red velvet okra

The variety of Non GMO okra known as Non GMO red velvet 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 50605106 Frozen Non GMO red velvet okra (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within frozen vegetable procurement, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the nominal scope. Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for the Department of Community Services solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items—primarily peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables—with delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026; frozen okra does not appear in the 35 line items listed. The State of Georgia's May 2026 bid on food, supplies, and other kitchen products offered no itemized scope in the posted notice. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-by-line bid for food supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program enumerated roughly 300 food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains, but frozen okra was not called out among the listed categories. The code shows no evidence of recent activity genuinely centered on frozen non-GMO red velvet okra procurement at the state or local level.

Issuing bodies tagged under this code include county governments (Gwinnett County), state departments (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), reflecting typical state and local food procurement patterns. The limited recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, though the state-level procurement likely draws from multiple jurisdictions. No vendor awards, pricing data, or set-aside designations appear in the posted notices. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal product scope and the actual contents of recent solicitations, the Commodity code appears to have been applied inconsistently or erroneously to broader food-procurement categories rather than to frozen okra specifically.
