UNSPSC 50605537: Frozen Non GMO tepin peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO tepin 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 50605537 Frozen Non GMO tepin peppers (Commodity) covers specialty frozen peppers sourced in state and local food procurement, though recent activity shows this code tagged to broader food-service solicitations where frozen peppers appear as line items within larger shelf-stable or fresh-produce buys rather than as standalone specialty ingredients. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through county food-service operations, school districts, and state purchasing vehicles that supply cafeterias, senior centers, and institutional food programs. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (notably Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments, and independent school districts. The scope of work involves delivery of frozen specialty produce as part of mixed food-service contracts that also encompass proteins, grains, canned goods, and fresh items, with vendors expected to meet food-safety certifications, deliver within tight timeframes (often 72 hours), maintain temperature controls, and comply with Buy American and domestic-sourcing preferences where applicable.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a due date of October 19, 2026, emphasizing lowest-unit-of-measure pricing and F.O.B. Destination delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia issued a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid in May 2026 with a June 22, 2026 response deadline, though the full scope resides in an attached document. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 due June 8, 2026, covering 300+ food items for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs across three schools with July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term, firm pricing for 15 days post-award, and escalation provisions tied to USDA or CPI indices. School districts and county food services dominate the recent-activity mix, with delivery and food-safety compliance as critical performance factors.
