UNSPSC 50605401: Frozen Non GMO purple hull peas

The variety of Non GMO peas known as Non GMO purple hull peas 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 50605401 Frozen Non GMO purple hull peas is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable and frozen vegetables, including legumes and specialty produce items, for food service operations serving institutional populations. Recent solicitations show that state and local bodies are buying frozen and canned vegetables as line items within broader food procurement for senior services, school meal programs, and general institutional food supplies. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county purchasing offices, state departments of human services or equivalent, and independent school districts. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and the Early County Board of Education both appear in recent activity, with county departments and school districts representing the primary buyer base for itemized produce categories.

Georgia dominates the recent opportunity set, with Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of food items for the Department of Community Services (response due October 19, 2026) and the State of Georgia's May 2026 food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (response due June 22, 2026) representing the largest visible procurements. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-by-line food bid for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools (response due June 8, 2026) exemplifies school district demand for frozen and canned vegetables as component line items within larger food contracts. Delivery requirements typically span Monday through Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., with F.O.B. Destination pricing and inside delivery standard. Award is made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a per-unit cost basis, and all items must be new, properly labeled, delivered in undamaged condition, and meet compliance with Buy American provisions and HACCP food-safety standards where applicable.
