UNSPSC 50605531: Frozen Non GMO pimiento peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO pimiento 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 50605531 Frozen Non GMO pimiento peppers is a Commodity code that represents a narrow food-service input rather than a broad procurement category. State and local governments buy frozen pimiento peppers primarily as components within larger food-service contracts, particularly for school nutrition programs and institutional kitchen operations. The code does not appear to be procured as a standalone line item in the recent solicitation activity; instead, frozen peppers and other vegetable commodities are bundled into broader frozen-foods, produce, or grocery RFPs that school districts and state agencies issue on an annual basis for meal preparation.

Recent opportunities show the code sits within the landscape of school nutrition procurement across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 on February 4, 2026, for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two; the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued IFB PE77310NONST2026000000018 on April 16, 2026 (due May 15) for frozen foods and grocery items; the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited grocery items on March 31, 2026 (due April 29) encompassing over 900 line items; and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) posted RFP JC250079 on February 22, 2026 (due April 2) for various food products. Frozen vegetables including peppers would typically appear as line items within these broader frozen-foods or grocery categories rather than as dedicated solicitations. The code shows little standalone procurement activity and is best understood as a subcomponent of larger school nutrition or institutional kitchen supply chains rather than as a primary contracting opportunity.
