UNSPSC 50605804: Frozen Non GMO haricot vert de mer

The variety of Non GMO sea vegetables known as Non GMO haricot vert de mer that has 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 50605804 Frozen Non GMO haricot vert de mer is a Commodity code that sits within the broader food procurement activity of state and local governments, though recent solicitations show the code rarely appears in isolation and is instead bundled within large, open-ended food-service category solicitations. State and local governments buying under this code purchase frozen vegetables as ingredients within comprehensive school nutrition programs, child nutrition services, and general institutional food supply contracts. The buying mix spans school districts (including independent school districts in Texas and county systems in Georgia, Missouri, and beyond), state procurement offices, and county education agencies. School districts dominate the market—districts are soliciting fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and ancillary food-service items annually in support of federal school lunch and breakfast programs. The typical contract runs July 1 through June 30 with options to renew for additional one-year terms; vendors must meet HACCP certification, maintain general liability insurance (commonly $1 million per occurrence), comply with Buy American provisions, and achieve E-Verify authorization and federal debarment verification. Prices remain firm for the contract term, with escalation clauses typically tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks, and delivery occurs Monday through Friday to individual school or warehouse locations with all freight included in bid pricing.

The Douglas County School System (Georgia) solicited fresh produce and eggs through a cooperative buying arrangement covering 30 school districts across two regions with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026); the same district separately requested main-line food distribution services with annual spend near $9 million (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026).
