UNSPSC 50605529: Frozen Non GMO peperoncini peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO peperoncini 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 50605529 Frozen Non GMO peperoncini peppers (Commodity) addresses specialty frozen produce items, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show little direct demand for peperoncini peppers specifically. Instead, the code appears in food-service procurement where frozen and fresh produce categories are bundled broadly. State and local governments procuring under related produce and food-supply codes are school districts, state departments, and independent school district systems seeking items to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. The actual buying focus centers on bulk frozen vegetables, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive food-service items—categories far broader than a single pepper variety—where vendors supply dozens to hundreds of line items per contract rather than specialty ingredients. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System all actively posting food-service solicitations in the recent period. State departments (Georgia) and independent school districts (Dallas ISD) also procure under adjacent codes.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity across Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) spanning 300+ food items for school nutrition programs; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh-produce contract (RFP/IFB, due April 23, 2026) for 72 produce items with estimated annual spending of over $4.4 million across 30 districts; Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery-items procurement (IFB, due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items; and Douglas County School System's main-line food-supply and distribution RFP (due February 18, 2026) with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million. All require firm pricing for full contract terms (typically July 1 through June 30), Buy American compliance, HACCP plan certification, general liability insurance of $1 million or higher, and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday during specified windows. The code shows no recent activity specifically requesting peperoncini peppers, indicating limited relevance for vendors specializing in that product line alone.
