UNSPSC 50606828: Frozen Non GMO gailon

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO gailon 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 50606828 Frozen Non-GMO gallon (Commodity) describes a single frozen product line item that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service contracts. Recent solicitations by school districts and state agencies show this code being tagged for general frozen food procurement, though the opportunities in the source span much wider scope—entire school nutrition programs encompassing hundreds of line items across fresh produce, dairy, grains, proteins, condiments, and non-food supplies. The actual work being solicited is comprehensive food-service supply contracts for school lunch and breakfast programs, with frozen items (dairy, vegetables, fruits, prepared entrees, ice cream) as one component of multi-category buys. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) sought line-by-line bids for 300+ food items including frozen products; City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items for the 2026–2027 school year; and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) solicited various food products including an Ice Cream Lot (frozen items) through an RFP due April 2, 2026. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state departments. School districts dominate recent activity—Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) all issued food-service contracts in the first half of 2026. The State of Georgia issued separate solicitations for fresh produce (IFB #4, May 27, 2026 response date) and general food, supplies, and kitchen products (June 22, 2026 response date).

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with significant procurement from Missouri. Georgia shows the highest recent volume—Douglas County issued paired RFPs for fresh produce and eggs (30 school districts via GEC Buying Cooperative, approximately $5.5 million annual estimated spend, proposals due March 4, 2026) and food supply and distribution services (approximately $9 million annual for 25,500 students, proposals due February 18, 2026); Savannah-Chatham County solicited fresh produce (72 line items, bid due April 23, 2026); City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods (bid due May 15, 2026); Early County Board of Education sought food bids (300+ items, due June 8, 2026); and the State of Georgia posted produce and general food solicitations. Texas activity includes Dallas ISD's multi-vendor RFP for food products excluding main commodity bids (due April 2, 2026). Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District sought 900+ line-item grocery bids (due April 29, 2026, electronic submission via NUTRIKIDS). All contracts run fiscal-year cycles (typically July 1 through June 30 of the following year), with most allowing vendor line-item or lot-based awards to multiple suppliers and requiring compliance with HACCP, Buy American, E-Verify, federal debarment, and state-specific preferences for minority and women-owned businesses where applicable. Pricing is firm for contract periods (12 months typically), with escalation clauses tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks at thresholds ranging from 3% to 10% for midterm adjustments.
