UNSPSC 50606710: Frozen Non GMO yellow guinea yams

The variety of Non GMO yams known as Non GMO yellow guinea yams 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 50606710 Frozen Non GMO yellow guinea yams is a Commodity code that describes specialty frozen vegetable products procured by state and local food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows minimal targeted demand. The three most recent opportunities in the source span broader food-service categories — shelf-stable pantry items, general food and kitchen supplies, and school lunch program ingredients — rather than frozen specialty yams specifically. Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of food items to the Department of Community Services focused on canned proteins, rice, pasta, and shelf-stable vegetables rather than frozen specialty produce. The State of Georgia's May 2026 food supplies bid and Early County Board of Education's June 2026 National School Lunch Program procurement similarly encompassed diverse protein, dairy, fresh produce, and grain categories without explicit line items for frozen non-GMO yams. Issuing bodies soliciting under related food-service codes include county governments (Gwinnett County Financial Services Purchasing Division), state departments (Georgia state procurement), and independent school districts (Early County Board of Education).

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia, with Gwinnett County posting the most recent opportunity on October 13, 2026 with quotes due October 19, 2026, requiring delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center with funding deadline of December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia posted in May 2026, and Early County Schools posted in May 2026 with a June 8, 2026 bid due date. Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet domestic sourcing preferences where applicable, provide multiple references, certify non-collusion, maintain compliance with worker verification and E-Verify requirements, and carry appropriate liability insurance. Pricing is evaluated at the lowest unit of measure, and awards may be split by line item at the issuing body's discretion. The code itself records little direct demand signal — state and local buyers are sourcing frozen specialty vegetables as part of broader competitive food-service bids rather than as standalone procurement categories.
