UNSPSC 50606225: Frozen Non GMO waltham butternut squash

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as Non GMO waltham butternut squash 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 50606225 Frozen Non GMO Waltham Butternut Squash is a Commodity code covering prepared and preserved vegetable products, particularly frozen specialty produce items sourced for institutional food service and bulk purchasing. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through school districts and county social-services agencies procuring shelf-stable and frozen vegetables for cafeteria operations, senior-meal programs, and community-services distribution. The work solicited includes individual line-item bids for frozen vegetables as components of larger food-procurement packages, with vendors expected to supply products meeting USDA specifications, proper labeling and documentation, delivery within defined temperature and timeframes, and compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where the Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line bid for 300+ food items including vegetables for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program (bid due June 8, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services under informal written quotes (due October 19, 2026), and the State of Georgia issued a broader bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). The code shows limited recent posting activity; most opportunities appear as line items within multi-product food-service RFQs or ITBs rather than as standalone frozen-vegetable procurements, and sourcing preferences emphasize domestic products, whole-grain formulations, and items without artificial additives. Delivery requirements typically mandate Monday-through-Friday availability, temperature control compliance for refrigerated items, and rotation by sell-by date with minimum shelf life from delivery.
