UNSPSC 50606000: Frozen Non GMO sorrels

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO sorrels 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 50606000 Frozen Non GMO sorrels, a Class code, nominally describes specialty frozen produce but in practice sees state and local procurement activity centered on general food purchasing for senior services, institutional food service, and school nutrition programs. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily buying shelf-stable and fresh food products in bulk — including proteins, grains, vegetables, dairy, and prepared items — for delivery to senior centers, schools, and government facilities. The issuing bodies are county governments, state departments, and school districts; Gwinnett County and the State of Georgia appear as recent buyers, and Early County Board of Education solicited for multi-year school lunch and breakfast program support.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center, with quotes due October 19, 2026; the State of Georgia posted an IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products on May 15, 2026, with bids due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line bid in May 2026 for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026; that contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. All three solicitations emphasize delivery within tight windows, compliance with food safety and labeling standards, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
