UNSPSC 50605504: Frozen Non GMO chilaca peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO chilaca peppers 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 50605504 Frozen Non GMO chilaca peppers is a Commodity code for perishable produce items that state and local governments procure primarily for food service operations, though the recent opportunities on file do not show active solicitation activity specifically for frozen chilaca peppers. Instead, the code appears in the broader context of food procurement by counties, school districts, and state agencies acquiring mixed food inventories that may include frozen vegetables alongside other shelf-stable and fresh items. The issuing bodies pursuing food contracts across this taxonomy include county departments of community services, state procurement offices, and independent school districts managing child nutrition and senior services programs. The work involves competitive bidding for produce and food products with emphasis on delivery compliance, quality certification, and compliance with domestic sourcing and nutrition standards where applicable.

Recent activity in Georgia reflects the geographic concentration of food procurement under related codes. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services with a response deadline of October 19, 2026; the State of Georgia posted a broader food supplies and kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026, with a June 22, 2026 deadline; and Early County Board of Education released a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026, covering 300+ food items and non-food supplies for school nutrition programs with a June 8, 2026 response date. School districts and county agencies dominate this procurement segment, with food service contracts requiring F.O.B. destination delivery, quality assurance documentation, and price stability provisions across six-month or twelve-month terms.
