UNSPSC 50605702: Frozen Non GMO angela rutabagas

The variety of Non GMO rutabagas known as Non GMO angela rutabagas 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 50605702 Frozen Non GMO angela rutabagas, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable and refrigerated food items procured by state and local jurisdictions for institutional feeding programs, senior services, and school nutrition. Recent activity shows state and local buyers soliciting mixed food-product bundles — shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, grains, dairy, and fresh meats and produce — rather than the narrow frozen-vegetable category the code name suggests. The issuing bodies span county purchasing offices, state agencies, and school districts; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and Early County Board of Education appear as active recent buyers. Work is typically solicited through informal written quotes (IWQ) or line-by-line bids, with awards made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and pricing evaluated per unit or ounce. Vendors must meet food-safety compliance (HACCP plans, recall procedures, E-Verify verification), carry liability insurance where contract value exceeds thresholds, and often satisfy Buy American and domestic-sourcing preferences.

Georgia dominates the recent-opportunity record, with three posted solicitations spanning May through October 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an IWQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services delivery at the Gwinnett Senior Services Center, with required delivery by December 7, 2026 and F.O.B. Destination terms. The State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid in May 2026 (due June 22, 2026) with full scope in attached documentation. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food-and-supplies bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for school lunch and breakfast programs across three schools, covering 300+ food items plus 60 non-food and cleaning supplies, with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend. The Early County solicitation explicitly emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium and sugar-free formulations, reflecting current school nutrition priorities.
