UNSPSC 50605518: Frozen Non GMO cherry hots peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO cherry hots 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 50605518 Frozen Non GMO cherry hot peppers is a Commodity code that describes a single frozen produce product line. State and local procurement systems tag this code to frozen pepper purchases for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations show no direct bids targeting frozen cherry hot peppers by name. Instead, the code appears in the broader context of school nutrition and institutional food procurement where frozen produce components are part of larger multi-item food service contracts. The work under this code encompasses sourcing frozen specialty vegetables—in this case non-GMO hot peppers—for school meal programs, district central warehouses, and state food service facilities. Issuing bodies include school districts (primary), county school systems, and state agencies conducting food service procurement. The recent opportunities block shows no dedicated solicitation for frozen cherry hot peppers alone, indicating that this commodity is typically bundled within larger produce or frozen-food lots rather than procured as a standalone line item.

Recent activity centers in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas school districts. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 on February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026, for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative covering approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spending; the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued IFB for frozen foods and grocery items on April 16, 2026, due May 15, 2026; and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) solicited fresh produce bids under Bid 26-34 on March 22, 2026, due April 23, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) requested grocery items on March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026, spanning over 900 line items, and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) issued an RFP for various food products on February 22, 2026, due April 2, 2026. All contracts emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, food recall procedures, and firm pricing for full contract periods, typically July 1 through June 30 with renewal options. No solicitation explicitly names frozen non-GMO cherry hot peppers as a line item, suggesting the commodity may enter procurement through supplier catalogs as a sub-item within frozen-vegetable or specialty-produce lots rather than as a directly solicited product.
