UNSPSC 50605520: Frozen Non GMO finger hot peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO finger hot 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 50605520 Frozen Non GMO finger hot peppers is a Commodity code that covers frozen hot pepper products purchased by state and local governments, though recent solicitations show the code is applied narrowly within broader food procurement. State and local governments buying under this code include county departments of community services, state procurement offices, and school districts supporting meal programs. The work involves supplying frozen vegetables and specialty food products as line items within larger food procurement contracts rather than as standalone purchases.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia, with issuing bodies including Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including vegetables for the Department of Community Services, response due October 19, 2026), the State of Georgia (requesting bids on food and kitchen products, response due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education (requesting line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, response due June 8, 2026). The frozen non-GMO finger hot pepper category itself does not appear as a discrete line item in these recent solicitations; the code shows minimal recent activity as a standalone commodity, suggesting it may be purchased as part of larger vegetable or condiment aggregations under broader food procurement rather than through dedicated buys.
