UNSPSC 50605607: Frozen Non GMO new potatoes

The variety of Non GMO potatoes known as Non GMO new potatoes 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 50605607 Frozen Non GMO new potatoes is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable and refrigerated produce items purchased by state and local food-service operations, though the recent solicitations under this code show limited activity specifically targeting frozen potatoes—instead capturing broader food procurement for school nutrition programs, county senior services, and state institutional dining. State and local governments buy food supplies under this code primarily through county purchasing divisions, state supply-chain offices, and school district food-service departments. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and the Early County Board of Education appear as active issuing bodies in the recent record, soliciting food items through informal written quote (IWQ) processes and formal line-item bid solicitations that emphasize domestic sourcing, compliance with USDA nutrition standards, and competitive unit pricing.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County issued an informal written quote (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, with F.O.B. destination delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center and a December 7, 2026 receipt deadline. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026) with scope details in an attached solicitation document. The Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for 300+ food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program (due June 8, 2026), emphasizing whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, domestic sourcing preferences, and delivery Monday through Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. across a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term. The recent solicitation record does not identify frozen potatoes specifically as a line item in these opportunities.
