UNSPSC 50606320: Frozen Non GMO yellow jersey sweet potatoes

The variety of Non GMO sweet potatoes known as Non GMO yellow 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 50606320 Frozen Non GMO yellow jersey sweet potatoes is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little activity actually purchasing frozen sweet potatoes. The most recent opportunities—a Gwinnett County informal quote for shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables), a Georgia statewide bid for food and kitchen products, and an Early County Schools food bid spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments—treat frozen sweet potatoes as either a line item within much broader food procurement or do not reference them by product at all. The code appears to be tagged to general food-service solicitations rather than to discrete frozen-potato purchasing, suggesting either a classification mismatch or that sweet potatoes are bundled into larger aggregated food buys rather than solicited as a standalone commodity.

Issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). Geographic activity centers in Georgia, with all three recent opportunities originating there. The Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 was posted October 13, 2026, with quotes due October 19, 2026, and delivery required to Gwinnett Senior Services by December 7, 2026; the Early County Schools FY27 Food Bid was posted May 11, 2026, with bids due June 8, 2026, for the July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract period. The State of Georgia's broader food and kitchen products bid was posted May 15, 2026, with bids due June 22, 2026. Vendors should note that school districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products free of added sugars or artificial additives, though these preferences apply to the broader category rather than frozen sweet potatoes specifically.
