UNSPSC 50605306: Frozen Non GMO virginia peanuts

The variety of Non GMO peanuts known as Non GMO virginia 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 50605306 Frozen Non GMO Virginia Peanuts is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses frozen and shelf-stable nut products procured primarily by school nutrition programs and state food service operations. The recent opportunities posted under this code, however, do not reflect peanut procurement specifically—instead, they document broad school food service and produce bidding across multiple Georgia school districts, Missouri school districts, Texas school districts, and state agencies. The scope of work actually being solicited includes comprehensive food supply contracts encompassing vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy products, meats, and various grocery staples to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. School districts and state agencies are the dominant issuing bodies, with activity concentrated among independent school districts (Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas Independent School District) and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). These jurisdictions issue RFPs and IFBs with response dates typically 30 to 60 days from posting, require firm pricing for 12-month contract periods, mandate HACCP compliance and food safety certifications, and frequently award line-item contracts to multiple vendors.

The recent activity shows geographic concentration in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas and multistate cooperative purchasing mechanisms. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Georgia's May 2026 food supplies and kitchen products IFB (due June 22, 2026), Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-by-line food bid supporting three schools across the National School Lunch Program (due June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur's May 2026 frozen foods and grocery IFB for ten school sites (due May 15, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District's April 2026 grocery items procurement for over 900 line items across snacks, breads, dairy, and prepared entrees (due April 29, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The code as tagged shows limited direct alignment with frozen non-GMO peanut procurement; vendors pursuing this commodity should verify specific line-item availability in individual district food service RFPs or watch for dedicated specialty-ingredient bidding outside the current posting visibility.
