UNSPSC 50606616: Frozen Non GMO rouge vif d'etampes squash

The variety of Non GMO winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as Non GMO rouge vif d'etampes squash that has 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 50606616 Frozen Non GMO rouge vif d'etampes squash, a Commodity code, captures frozen specialty vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and senior services departments. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for shelf-stable and refrigerated produce items as part of broader food-service contracting — particularly for National School Lunch Program compliance, school breakfast initiatives, and senior meal programs. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county senior services departments, and state procurement offices. Georgia school districts and county governments dominate recent activity, with Early County Board of Education and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posting solicitations in 2026 that encompass produce procurement alongside proteins, dairy, and staple foods. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; senior services departments prioritize shelf-stable and easily distributed items for congregate meal programs.

Recent opportunities center on Georgia. Early County Board of Education issued an RFQ on May 11, 2026 (PE55045NONST2027000000006) for line-by-line bids on food and non-food products supporting school nutrition programs across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026 and contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the solicitation encompasses 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits, with emphasis on Buy American provisions and HACCP compliance. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an IWQ on October 13, 2026 (PE77023NONST2027000000782) requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of food items for senior services, with quotes due October 19, 2026; while the scope centers on shelf-stable products, delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center was required by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia also posted a broader food procurement in May 2026 (PE55645NONST2026000000009) encompassing food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a bid due date of June 22, 2026.
