UNSPSC 50605910: Frozen Non GMO sante shallots

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO sante shallots 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 50605910 Frozen Non-GMO Santé Shallots is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not see direct solicitation for this specific frozen vegetable product. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span broad food service procurement for school districts and state agencies, including general grocery items, fresh produce, frozen foods, and commodity food supply contracts, but none of the identified solicitations target frozen shallots specifically. The issuing bodies range across state departments (Georgia), county school districts (Early County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Dallas Independent School District in Texas), and city school systems (City Schools of Decatur, Georgia), reflecting the typical school nutrition and institutional food service buyer base. These buyers procure food through RFP, RFQ, and IFB mechanisms as annual or multi-year contracts tied to fiscal year cycles.

The recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and Missouri, with notable procurement in Texas through Dallas ISD. Georgia dominates the recent-opportunity sample with multiple school districts and the State of Georgia itself posting general food, fresh produce, and frozen goods bids in February through June 2026, while Douglas County School System issued two separate RFPs for food supply and produce serving a 30-district cooperative. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items via IFB on April 29, 2026, encompassing over 900 line items, and Dallas ISD issued an RFP for various food products due April 2, 2026, structured to award multiple suppliers on an as-needed basis. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) sought line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium products across approximately 300 food items. The code shows activity in institutional food procurement but lacks specific frozen-shallot-level solicitations; vendors pursuing this commodity would need to position frozen specialty vegetables within broader frozen-foods or specialty-produce categories under general food service contracts rather than expect dedicated shallot bids.
