UNSPSC 50606829: Frozen Non GMO galanga

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO galanga 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 50606829 Frozen Non GMO galanga is a Commodity code that covers specialty frozen produce items for institutional food service. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily school districts and state agencies sourcing frozen and fresh produce, grocery staples, and related food service products for child nutrition programs and state operations. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show purchasing activity centered on comprehensive food service procurement encompassing multiple product categories—fresh and frozen produce, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and nonperishable grocery items—rather than galanga-specific sourcing. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) among repeat buyers. State procurement offices in Georgia have also posted opportunities for fresh produce and general food supplies. Most solicitations emphasize compliance with USDA specifications, Buy American provisions, HACCP food safety plans, and delivery scheduling tied to school meal operations. All contracts are typically structured as firm-pricing arrangements with potential renewal options and performance periods aligned to the July 1 through June 30 school fiscal year.

Georgia school districts and the State of Georgia account for the majority of recent activity. The Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 on February 4, 2026, for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), due March 4, 2026. Early County Board of Education posted an RFQ on May 11, 2026, for line-by-line food and non-food product bids supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026, encompassing approximately 300 food items plus 60 non-food and cleaning supplies. City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB on April 16, 2026, for frozen foods and grocery items for its School Nutrition Program during 2026–2027, with sealed bids due May 15, 2026, to ten designated school sites. The State of Georgia posted IFB #4 2027-2026 on April 20, 2026, for fresh produce supply and delivery, due May 27, 2026. Activity outside Georgia includes Dallas Independent School District (Texas) posting an RFP on February 22, 2026, for various food products not available through main commodity bids, due April 2, 2026, and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) soliciting grocery items for 2026–2027 with electronic bids due April 29, 2026.
