UNSPSC 50605506: Frozen Non GMO fresno peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO fresno 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 50605506 Frozen Non GMO Fresno Peppers is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of specialty frozen produce, specifically non-GMO Fresno peppers. State and local governments purchasing under this code include county social services departments, school districts, and state food service programs that supply institutional food operations. The work is highly specialized and narrow — vendors must supply frozen Fresno peppers meeting non-GMO certification and quality standards for delivery to cafeterias, senior centers, and food distribution facilities. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners managing senior or community services, school district nutrition programs, and state food procurement offices.

Recent activity shows Georgia as the primary jurisdiction, with solicitations from Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed food items including shelf-stable vegetables, due October 19, 2026), the State of Georgia (bids for food, supplies, and other kitchen products, due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education (line-by-line bids for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program foods, due June 8, 2026). The Gwinnett County solicitation specified F.O.B. Destination delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center with 72-hour turnaround where possible and December 7, 2026 deadline; the Early County solicitation required Monday–Friday 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. delivery across three schools with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and firm pricing for 15 days post-award. Recent opportunities reflect mixed-commodity food procurements rather than frozen Fresno peppers as a stand-alone line item, suggesting limited current demand specifically for this specialty frozen produce at the state and local level.
