UNSPSC 50606301: Frozen Non GMO beauregard sweet potatoes

The variety of Non GMO sweet potatoes known as Non GMO beauregard sweet potatoes that have 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 50606301 Frozen Non GMO Beauregard Sweet Potatoes is a Commodity code covering specialty frozen produce items used in institutional food service and meal programs. State and local governments procure under this code primarily to supply school districts, county social services departments, and state food programs with frozen produce meeting specific agricultural and quality standards. The solicitations show that while the nominal code identifies a specific product line, actual procurement encompasses broader food-service categories—including fresh and frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, and specialty items—purchased through multi-line food bids where frozen sweet potatoes may appear as one line item among dozens. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (social services and senior programs), state agencies, and school district boards of education. Early County Board of Education and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners are recent repeat participants in food procurement.
