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 is a Class code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no solicitations matching frozen sorrels or similar frozen specialty vegetables. Instead, the eight opportunities posted since January 2026 address broad food service procurement—fresh produce, eggs, frozen and grocery items, and general food supplies—across school districts and state agencies. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either mistagging in state procurement systems or that frozen sorrels do not drive material demand in the state and local market. Issuing bodies span school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System), state procurement offices (Georgia), and special-purpose cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative on behalf of 30 Georgia school districts). School nutrition programs dominate the mix, with fresh produce, eggs, and general grocery items as the primary categories across all recent solicitations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with Georgia appearing in six of eight opportunities (state-level procurement, four school districts, and the GEC cooperative). Dallas Independent School District represents the only Texas activity in the recent block. Recent representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services, seeking a main-line food distributor for 32,500 students with estimated annual spend of $9 million and proposals due February 18, 2026; Dallas ISD's RFP for Various Food Products for Food and Child Nutrition Services, due April 2, 2026, structured as an as-needed district-wide arrangement with multiple supplier awards; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 for Fresh Produce covering 72 line items and 60 school sites with sealed bids due April 23, 2026; and the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery-items solicitation encompassing 900 line items with electronic bids due April 29, 2026. All school district solicitations emphasize firm pricing, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, and liability insurance in the $1 million to $2 million range. The code shows little activity aligned to frozen sorrels specifically and signals modest relevance to frozen specialty-vegetable vendors outside broad school food-service distribution channels.
