UNSPSC 50605305: Frozen Non GMO valencia peanuts

The variety of Non GMO peanuts known as Non GMO valencia peanuts 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 50605305 Frozen Non GMO valencia peanuts is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single agricultural product line, but recent state and local opportunities show little activity specifically targeting frozen non-GMO peanuts. The recent solicitations posted under this code are instead comprehensive food-service procurements spanning hundreds of line items across multiple product categories — produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and prepared foods — issued by state education departments, county and city school districts, and regional school system cooperatives to supply school nutrition programs and institutional food services. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school systems soliciting through standard food-service RFP and IFB notices, typically with response deadlines in late April or May 2026 and contract periods running from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with renewal options. These are line-item or lot-based procurements that evaluate vendors on lowest price, product quality, compliance with nutrition and safety standards (HACCP, food recall procedures, Buy American provisions, E-Verify authorization), and demonstrated experience supplying school meal programs.

The geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with outlier activity in Texas. In Georgia, the State issued a general food-supplies IFB (May 2026, response June 22), Early County Board of Education sought food and non-food items for three schools (May 2026, response June 8), the State issued an invitation for fresh-produce items (April 2026, response May 27), the City Schools of Decatur sought frozen foods and grocery items for ten schools (April 2026, response May 15), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System solicited 72 fresh-produce line items across 60 schools (March 2026, response April 23), and Douglas County School System sought fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across two areas (February 2026, response March 4, estimated annual spend $5.5 million) and food supply and distribution services for 32 schools serving 25,500 students (January 2026, response February 18, estimated annual spend $9 million). In Missouri, Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services solicited over 900 grocery line items for approximately 7,700 daily meal participants (March 2026, response April 29). In Texas, Dallas Independent School District sought various food products not available through main commodity bids (February 2026, response April 2) with two designated lots and line-item pricing. The code shows little relevance to the specific frozen-peanut product the UNSPSC name describes.
