UNSPSC 50606315: Frozen Non GMO orange sweet potatoes

The variety of Non GMO sweet potatoes known as Non GMO orange 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 50606315 Frozen Non GMO orange sweet potatoes, a Commodity code, identifies frozen sweet potato products sourced without genetic modification for purchase by state and local food-service entities. State and local governments procure under this code primarily to support school meal programs, senior services, and institutional food operations. The recent solicitations show issuing bodies purchasing shelf-stable and frozen produce items as part of broader food-service contracts that bundle proteins, vegetables, grains, and dairy. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and the Early County Board of Education have all posted food-procurement solicitations in the past six months, indicating that counties, state agencies, and school districts are the primary buyers. School districts and county senior-services operations dominate the recent activity, driven by USDA National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program funding mandates and domestic sourcing preferences that emphasize whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives.

The code shows activity concentrated in Georgia, with three recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Gwinnett County solicited approximately 1,062 cases of food items via informal written quote (IWQ 140229) with a due date of October 19, 2026, requiring delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center within 72 hours of order receipt. The State of Georgia issued a bid request on May 15, 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response deadline, though detailed scope and pricing remained in an attached PDF. Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies for school meal programs with a June 8, 2026 due date, emphasizing domestic sourcing, low-sodium formulations, and products free of added sugars or artificial additives, with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. All three buyers require F.O.B. Destination delivery, compliance with food-safety protocols (HACCP plans, recall procedures), and awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
