UNSPSC 50606506: Frozen Non GMO snowball turnips

The variety of Non GMO turnips known as Non GMO snowball 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 50606506 Frozen Non GMO snowball turnips (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a single specialty frozen vegetable product — appears disconnected from the actual solicitations posted under this code, which instead reflect broad food service procurement for school districts, county education systems, and state agencies. Recent opportunities consistently solicit comprehensive frozen foods, fresh produce, groceries, eggs, and full-service food supply and distribution across dozens or hundreds of line items, not the specific commodity the code name describes.

The recent opportunities sourced under this code originate from school districts, county school systems, and state procurement offices across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, including Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas Independent School District, and the Douglas County School System. Representative procurements include Dallas ISD's Request for Proposal for various food products for Child Nutrition Services (due April 2, 2026), the Douglas County School System's RFP for Food Supply and Distribution Services with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026), and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's annual fresh produce contract solicitation covering 72 line items (due April 23, 2026). The code shows no meaningful activity for the specialty frozen turnip product it nominally describes; vendors should verify code assignment with the procuring agency before pursuing opportunities tagged to this UNSPSC classification.
