UNSPSC 50605909: Frozen Non GMO red potato onions

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO red potato onions 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 50605909 Frozen Non-GMO red potato onions, a Commodity code, describes specific frozen produce items that state and local governments procure as components of broader food-service purchasing. Recent solicitations under this code show that issuing bodies are actually buying shelf-stable and fresh food products for senior services, school nutrition programs, and institutional meal services rather than frozen potatoes and onions as standalone line items. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of food items for the Department of Community Services lists canned vegetables, proteins, rice, pasta, and sauces but does not isolate frozen produce. Similarly, the Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-by-line bid encompasses meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments across the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The State of Georgia's May 2026 solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products does not disclose itemized scope in the posted summary. Issuing bodies include county departments of community services, county purchasing offices, school district boards of education, and state-level procurement agencies.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with Gwinnett County and Early County Schools posting opportunities in May and October 2026, and the State of Georgia posting a statewide food-procurement bid in May 2026. The Gwinnett County solicitation (PE77023NONST2027000000782, IWQ 140229) required informal written quotes due October 19, 2026 for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026, with F.O.B. Destination and inside delivery required. The Early County Board of Education solicitation (PE55045NONST2027000000006, FY27 Food Bid) issued line-by-line bids due June 8, 2026 for a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with pricing firm for 15 days from award and subject to escalation or de-escalation requests on a six-month basis. The code shows no recent opportunities specifically isolating frozen non-GMO potatoes and onions as discrete purchase lines.
