UNSPSC 50605902: Frozen Non GMO creation shallots

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO creation shallots 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 50605902 Frozen Non GMO creation shallots, a Commodity code, spans frozen specialty produce that state and local governments procure for food service operations, though the recent activity on record shows minimal direct purchasing of this specific item. The code nominally covers frozen non-GMO shallots, but the three most recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect broader food procurement — shelf-stable pantry items for senior services, general food and kitchen products through a state cooperative vehicle, and National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program supplies for a school district. None of the posted solicitations explicitly name frozen shallots or frozen produce as a line item; instead, the opportunities span canned proteins, grains, dairy, fresh and frozen vegetables, meats, and poultry. The issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state procurement (Georgia), and school district food service operations (Early County Board of Education), representing the typical mix of jurisdictions that buy food service supplies.

Recent activity centers on Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, with delivery required by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The State of Georgia posted a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 due date (full scope in attached documentation). Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line bid on May 11, 2026 for 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies for school nutrition programs, due June 8, 2026, with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and award approximately 60 days after bid opening. The code shows limited transaction volume specifically for frozen non-GMO shallots; the tagging appears to reflect miscategorization or incidental inclusion within broader food-service procurement.
