UNSPSC 50605524: Frozen Non GMO hungarian wax peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO hungarian wax 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 50605524 Frozen Non-GMO Hungarian Wax Peppers is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that scope. The three most recent solicitations tagged with this code request shelf-stable packaged foods (canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables), food service supplies for school nutrition programs (meats, poultry, dairy, condiments, bread, fluid milk), and kitchen and janitorial products—none of which are frozen Hungarian wax peppers or fresh produce. The issuing bodies are a county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), a state department (State of Georgia), and a school district (Early County Board of Education), reflecting the broad-based food purchasing that state and local agencies conduct for senior services, institutional meal programs, and school nutrition.

Activity under this code spans Georgia, with the Gwinnett County informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, the State of Georgia's food, supplies, and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026, and Early County Schools' line-by-line food bid for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program support due June 8, 2026. The code's labeling appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-assignment error; the actual procurement activity involves broad food-service categories and institutional meal-program support rather than a specific frozen vegetable commodity. Vendors evaluating this code should verify the actual product or service requirements in each RFQ or IFB notice rather than rely on the UNSPSC designation alone.
