UNSPSC 50605903: Frozen Non GMO drittler white nest shallots

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO drittler white nest 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 50605903 Frozen Non GMO drittler white nest shallots is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a much broader range of shelf-stable and refrigerated food products that state and local governments procure for senior services, school nutrition programs, and community support initiatives. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring not only frozen vegetables but also canned proteins, grains, dairy products, condiments, bread, fluid milk, and associated food-service supplies through informal quotes, line-by-line bids, and formal RFQ processes. Issuing bodies include county purchasing divisions (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and school district food service departments (Early County Board of Education). The work centers on bulk food procurement with specific attention to sourcing compliance, delivery logistics, temperature control, and in school settings, adherence to USDA nutrition standards and Buy American provisions.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia, where Gwinnett County, the State of Georgia, and Early County Schools have all posted opportunities in the past six months. Gwinnett County's informal written quote IWQ 140229, posted October 13, 2026 with response due October 19, 2026, sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) with F.O.B.
