UNSPSC 50605521: Frozen Non GMO guajillo peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO guajillo 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 50605521 Frozen Non GMO guajillo peppers is a Commodity code covering specialized frozen pepper products for institutional food service. State and local governments rarely solicit this specific item in isolation; instead, frozen guajillo peppers appear as line items within broader frozen-food and fresh-produce contracts for school nutrition programs, institutional kitchens, and food service operations. The code's narrow scope—a single frozen vegetable product with non-GMO specification—sits downstream of much larger food-service procurement activity where school districts, county education boards, and state agencies bundle dozens or hundreds of food items (meats, produce, dairy, grains, frozen vegetables, condiments) into single solicitations. Issuing bodies sourcing under this code's parent categories include large urban and suburban school districts (Dallas ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Early County Board of Education), state education or facility-management departments (Georgia), and cooperative buying groups representing multiple districts (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts).

Recent state and local activity shows no solicitations specifically requesting frozen non-GMO guajillo peppers by name or UNSPSC 50605521. The most recent opportunities in the code's parent families—frozen foods, fresh produce, and grocery items—span Georgia, Texas, and Missouri school districts with response dates from February through June 2026, including Dallas ISD's February 22, 2026 RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026), the Douglas County School System's February 4, 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia districts (due March 4, 2026), and the City Schools of Decatur's April 16, 2026 IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026). Bid specifications across these solicitations emphasize whole-grain standards, low sodium, zero trans fat, HACCP compliance, and Buy American provisions. Frozen guajillo peppers, if sourced at all under this code, would likely appear as a line item within a larger frozen-vegetable or specialty-ingredient category rather than as a standalone procurement opportunity; vendors targeting this code should monitor broader frozen-food and specialty-ingredient solicitations from school districts and state agencies rather than expect direct RFPs for this single product.
