UNSPSC 50605300: Frozen Non GMO peanuts

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO peanuts 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 50605300 Frozen Non-GMO Peanuts is a Class code that encompasses frozen peanut products and related frozen legume supplies purchased by state and local education agencies, primarily school districts running child nutrition programs. State and local buyers under this code procure frozen peanuts and similar items as components of broader frozen food and grocery solicitations serving school meal programs, child nutrition services, and institutional food operations. The mix of issuing bodies is dominated by school districts—Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas)—along with state education or nutrition departments such as the State of Georgia. School nutrition programs represent the primary market, with frozen peanuts appearing as line items within larger food service bids spanning produce, dairy, proteins, and grocery staples required under USDA National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program standards.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary representation in Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (RFQ, due June 8, 2026) spanning 300+ food items including frozen and refrigerated products with domestic sourcing preferences and low-sodium specifications; Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items 2026-2027 (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items across multiple product categories; Dallas Independent School District's Various Food Products for Food and Child Nutrition Services (RFP, due April 2, 2026) for supplemental items not covered by main commercial bids; and Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (due February 18, 2026) for approximately $9 million in annual food service volume across 32 schools. All school district solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, product recall procedures, firm pricing with limited escalation (typically 3–10 percent thresholds before alternative sourcing), and Monday–Friday delivery windows to multiple school sites between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
