UNSPSC 50606308: Frozen Non GMO japanese sweet potatoes

The variety of Non GMO sweet potatoes known as Non GMO japanese 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 50606308 Frozen Non GMO japanese sweet potatoes, a Commodity code, names a specialized agricultural product that state and local governments procure infrequently through food-service and institutional dining channels. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers tag this code when sourcing shelf-stable and fresh food items for senior services, school nutrition programs, and state food-procurement initiatives, though the specific frozen non-GMO sweet potato product itself appears rarely in the posted opportunities. The issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state purchasing offices (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). Work under the code spans food-service procurement for senior centers, national school lunch and breakfast programs, and state-level institutional dining operations.

Recent activity centers in Georgia, where Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; the Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line bid for food vendors covering 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products for school nutrition programs with a June 8, 2026 response date; and the State of Georgia released a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 due June 22, 2026. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain formulations, low-sodium options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; contracts typically run annual terms with extension and renewal options. The code shows modest recent activity and does not align tightly with the frozen non-GMO sweet potato commodity name—recent opportunities tag the code for general food procurement rather than this specific product line.
