UNSPSC 50605500: Frozen Non GMO peppers

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO peppers 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 50605500 Frozen Non GMO peppers is a Class code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable and fresh food items for institutional feeding programs, senior services, and general food supply. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing a range of products — canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables, fresh produce, meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, grains, condiments, bread products, and fluid milk — often bundled into line-item food bids rather than single-commodity purchases. The issuing bodies span county governments, state departments, and school districts, with Georgia representing the visible recent activity. Gwinnett County and Early County Schools have posted solicitations in the recent window; the State of Georgia also posted a broader food-supply bid covering unspecified line items in an attached PDF.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia, where Gwinnett County (purchasing approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items for senior services with a due date of October 19, 2026 via informal written quotes), Early County Board of Education (posting a FY27 food bid for 300+ food items plus non-food and paper supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with bids due June 8, 2026), and the State of Georgia (posting a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026) have all solicited within the past six months. Delivery and logistics figure prominently in recent specifications — vendors must meet tight windows (72 hours from order receipt when possible for Gwinnett County; 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday for school district deliveries), maintain temperature controls where required, and absorb transportation costs in quoted unit prices. School district and county awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a line-item basis with options for multi-year renewal and district piggybacking.
