UNSPSC 50606824: Frozen Non GMO diakon

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO diakon 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 50606824 Frozen Non GMO Diakon, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source shows no solicitations that actually seek frozen diakon or products matching that description. Instead, the opportunities reference broad food service procurement—fresh produce, eggs, frozen and grocery items, and various food products for school nutrition programs—across multiple issuing bodies and states. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being solicited suggests either miscoding of these opportunities or a code designation that does not reflect current buying patterns in state and local procurement.

School districts and county school systems in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas dominate the recent activity in this tagged set. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) has issued two major RFPs: one for food supply and distribution services with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 serving 32 schools, and another for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line bids for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026. The City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items for its School Nutrition Program during 2026-2027, with sealed bids due May 15, 2026. The Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited bids for grocery items comprising over 900 line items, with electronic submissions due April 29, 2026. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) bid for fresh produce across 72 items with bids due April 23, 2026. Dallas Independent School District (Texas) issued an RFP for various food products not available through main commercial and commodity food bids, due April 2, 2026. The State of Georgia posted requests for food, supplies, and other kitchen products and for fresh produce, neither tied to frozen diakon. The code shows little relevant recent activity grounded in its stated commodity.
