UNSPSC 50606819: Frozen Non GMO chrysanthemum greens

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO chrysanthemum greens 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 50606819 Frozen Non GMO chrysanthemum greens is a Commodity code covering specialty produce items purchased by state and local food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code do not center on frozen chrysanthemum greens specifically; instead, issuing bodies are procuring broad food-service packages that include shelf-stable proteins, grains, vegetables, dairy, and produce to support school meal programs, senior services, and state institutional food operations. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Early County Board of Education, and State of Georgia have posted recent opportunities that bundle multiple food categories together, with vegetable components (fresh, frozen, and canned) embedded within larger line-item food-procurement exercises rather than as standalone specialty-produce awards. Issuing bodies include county purchasing divisions, school district food-service departments, and state-level procurement offices.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items with a due date of October 19, 2026 and delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. Early County Board of Education released a line-by-line bid for 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, due June 8, 2026, with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend. The State of Georgia posted a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. All three opportunities emphasize domestic sourcing, compliance with USDA specifications, food safety and recall procedures, and delivery within specified temperature and time windows. The code shows little activity under its narrow scope of frozen non-GMO chrysanthemum greens as a discrete commodity; recent state and local procurement under this classification reflects aggregated food-service purchasing that treats specialty vegetables as component line items within larger institutional food awards.
