UNSPSC 50606306: Frozen Non GMO goldensweet sweet potatoes

The variety of Non GMO sweet potatoes known as Non GMO goldensweet 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 50606306 Frozen Non-GMO Goldensweet Sweet Potatoes, a Commodity code, covers frozen specialty produce items purchased by state and local jurisdictions for institutional food service, particularly school meal programs and senior services. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers requesting frozen and shelf-stable vegetables as components of broader food-procurement awards rather than as standalone line items, with suppliers typically competing on unit pricing, quality certification, and delivery reliability to multiple institutional sites.

State purchasing departments, county boards of commissioners, and independent school districts are the primary issuing bodies active under this code. Georgia shows the most recent activity, with the State of Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and Early County Board of Education all soliciting food products in 2026. The Gwinnett County informal written quote (IWQ 140229) due October 19, 2026 included frozen and shelf-stable vegetables among approximately 1,062 cases of food items for the Department of Community Services, with delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid (PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) encompassing approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools for the contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations. The State of Georgia's May 2026 solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products also covers this commodity category, though the full scope details are contained in an attached document.
