UNSPSC 50606002: Frozen Non GMO garden sorrel

The variety of Non GMO sorrel known as Non GMO garden sorrel 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 50606002 Frozen Non GMO garden sorrel, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The available opportunities tagged to this code span broad food service categories—fresh produce, groceries, frozen foods, eggs, and general food supplies for school nutrition and state operations—but none target frozen garden sorrel specifically or frozen specialty vegetables by name. The code's nominal scope (a single frozen vegetable product) diverges sharply from what issuing bodies are actually buying, which is full-line food service procurement across dozens or hundreds of line items per solicitation.

State and local buying under broader food-service codes centers on school districts and state departments. The most active jurisdictions in the recent opportunity set are Georgia school systems (Douglas County School System, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, City Schools of Decatur, and the State of Georgia itself), with additional activity from Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri and Dallas Independent School District in Texas. These buyers solicit for child nutrition services under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with contract periods typically running July 1 through June 30 the following year and offering renewal options. Representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (approximately $9 million annual spend, due February 18, 2026), the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid spanning 300+ food items and non-food supplies (due June 8, 2026), and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce bid for 72 items across 60 school sites (due April 23, 2026). Vendors typically must carry $1 million general liability insurance, comply with Buy American and HACCP requirements, maintain E-Verify authorization, and accept firm pricing for the contract period with adjustments permitted only for verified cost increases supported by USDA or CPI data.
