UNSPSC 50606814: Frozen Non GMO caperberries

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO caperberries 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 50606814 Frozen Non GMO caperberries is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a single specialty produce item—frozen non-GMO caperberries—but the recent opportunities tagged to this code are broad food service procurements covering hundreds of grocery items, produce staples, proteins, and school nutrition supplies. School districts, county school systems, and state agencies are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code, but the scope of work in actual solicitations spans fresh produce, frozen vegetables, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous food service supplies rather than caperberries specifically.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia and Missouri. Georgia sourcing includes the State of Georgia (May 2026 food supplies IFB), Early County Board of Education (June 2026 food bid), City Schools of Decatur (May 2026 frozen foods and grocery IFB), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (April 2026 fresh produce bid), and Douglas County School System (February–March 2026 RFPs for fresh produce, eggs, and food supply and distribution). Outside Georgia, the Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri solicited grocery items (April 2026), and Dallas Independent School District in Texas issued an RFP for various food products (April 2026). The mismatch between the code's specific product name and the actual scope of the solicitations—which address entire food service portfolios—suggests the code is either misapplied in source records or represents a catch-all category within school nutrition procurement that does not reliably predict frozen caperberries as a line item.
