UNSPSC 50605536: Frozen Non GMO tai peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO tai 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 50605536 Frozen Non GMO tai peppers is a Commodity code that captures individual frozen vegetable products, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no direct solicitations for tai peppers specifically. Instead, issuing bodies are acquiring broader frozen and shelf-stable vegetable products as components of larger food-service procurement bundles. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and the Early County Board of Education have posted opportunities involving canned vegetables, produce components, and miscellaneous food items where frozen or fresh peppers may be included as line-item options within multi-category food bids. The scope of work centers on food-service delivery to senior centers, state agencies, and school cafeterias supporting National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, where individual commodity codes like tai peppers nest within broader RFQ and IFB notices structured as line-by-line bids permitting equivalent-product substitution. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices, state procurement divisions, and school district food-service departments, all of which solicit food products on annual or multi-year cycles with firm pricing and domestic-sourcing preferences where feasible.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County issued an IWQ on October 13, 2026 (response due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, including canned vegetables and other products with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies bid in May 2026 (due June 22, 2026) with full scope and vendor classifications detailed in an attached document. Early County Board of Education issued an IFB in May 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains to support school meal programs, with awards made approximately 60 days after bid opening and contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Vendors in these solicitations must meet food-safety compliance (HACCP, E-Verify, debarment verification for bids exceeding $25,000), carry liability insurance, and accept firm pricing structures with escalation permitted only on six-month intervals supported by USDA or CPI data. Pursuit of individual commodity codes like tai peppers typically requires vendor presence in broader regional food-distribution networks serving schools, county agencies, and state institutions rather than direct commodity-specific bids.
