UNSPSC 50606505: Frozen Non GMO purple top white turnips

The variety of Non GMO turnips known as Non GMO purple top white turnips 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 50606505 Frozen Non GMO purple top white turnips is a Commodity code that encompasses specific frozen vegetable products procured by state and local food service operations, though recent opportunities tagged to this code show broader food procurement activity. The code appears in solicitations for institutional food supply contracts—school lunch programs, senior services, and state food distribution—where frozen vegetables are line items within larger meal-preparation or food-assistance purchasing. State and local buyers under this code include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), with food service operations spanning multiple facilities and meal programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and fresh food items in October 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for the Department of Community Services Senior Services Center, with delivery required by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia solicited bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026), with scope and pricing contained in attached documentation. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, encompassing 300+ food items, 60 non-food supplies, and milk products with USDA whole-grain and enriched-tier specifications, contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. All three solicitations reflect institutional food service operations and emphasize domestic sourcing, compliance with meal-program regulations, temperature-controlled delivery, and traceability documentation.
