UNSPSC 50605505: Frozen Non GMO cubanelles peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO cubanelles 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 50605505 Frozen Non GMO Cubanelles Peppers is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food and kitchen-supply contracts, though the code shows limited discrete solicitation activity specifically naming frozen cubanelles. The work actually being bought under this code sits within institutional food service — school lunch programs, senior services, and state agency cafeterias — where frozen peppers appear as line items within large, multi-category produce and food-product RFQs and IFBs rather than as standalone commodities. The issuing bodies are county purchasing offices, state procurement divisions, and school district food-service departments. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and the Early County Board of Education all solicited food-product bundles that likely included or could have included frozen pepper items in recent months, though only the Early County schools bid explicitly named vegetables as a product category within a broader institutional meal-program scope.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an IWQ (informal written quote) on October 13, 2026, requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and fresh food items for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026; while the GovTribe summary does not explicitly name frozen cubanelles, the scope of 35 line items of food products could encompass them. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, with full scope contained in an attached solicitation document. Early County Board of Education posted an FY27 food bid on May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, requesting line-by-line pricing for 300+ food items including vegetables, with delivery to three schools Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and firm pricing required for 15 days from award. These school and county opportunities typically involve F.O.B. destination delivery, compliance with E-Verify and debarment verification for contracts exceeding $25,000, and awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
