UNSPSC 50606309: Frozen Non GMO jersey sweet potatoes

The variety of Non GMO sweet potatoes known as Non GMO jersey 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 50606309 Frozen Non GMO Jersey Sweet Potatoes is a Commodity code that describes a specific agricultural product category, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance. The single identified opportunity — Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 food purchase for the Department of Community Services (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) — solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables, with no mention of frozen sweet potatoes or the specific product class named in the code. The other two recent Georgia opportunities (State of Georgia's May 2026 food, supplies, and kitchen products bid and Early County Board of Education's June 2026 food bid supporting school lunch and breakfast programs) reference broader food procurement scopes in their published summaries without specifying frozen non-GMO Jersey sweet potatoes as line items.

Procurement activity under this code comes primarily from Georgia counties and school districts (Gwinnett County, Early County Schools) and state-level food purchasing, with the most recent activity posted between May and October 2026. Informal written quotes and line-by-line bids represent the standard notice types. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope — frozen non-GMO Jersey sweet potatoes — and the actual items listed in recent opportunities suggests this code may be misapplied in the source data or that frozen sweet potatoes represent a minor or infrequent line item within broader food service contracts rather than a standalone procurement driver in state and local government purchasing.
