UNSPSC 50606802: Frozen Non GMO aloe leaves

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO aloe leaves 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 50606802 Frozen Non GMO aloe leaves is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not align with actual procurement activity. The source materials show no state or local government buyers soliciting frozen non-GMO aloe leaves or any aloe-based products. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged under this code concern generic food supplies, fresh produce, frozen foods, and grocery items for school nutrition programs and state agency operations. The code's nominal scope—a specialized botanical ingredient with strict non-GMO certification—bears no connection to the broad, commodity-grade food procurement that dominates the actual posted opportunities, which emphasize apples, bananas, vegetables, meats, dairy, grains, and staple condiments. This mismatch indicates either a tagging error by the issuing bodies or that the code has no active procurement demand in state and local markets today.

The geographic activity visible in these opportunities centers on Georgia and Missouri school districts and state purchasing offices, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with an estimated $4.4 million to $1.1 million spend (due March 4, 2026); the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) Bid 26-34 for fresh produce with 72 line items (due April 23, 2026); the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) Child Nutrition Services grocery bid with over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026); and the Dallas Independent School District (Texas) RFP for various food products including spices and ice cream (due April 2, 2026). All use IFB or RFP notice types with sealed bidding and multi-week response windows. No recent opportunities reference frozen non-GMO aloe leaves or aloe-based components in any capacity.
