UNSPSC 50606836: Frozen Non GMO lily bulb

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO lily bulb 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 50606836 Frozen Non GMO lily bulb is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity in the available recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a horticultural product — a frozen lily bulb with non-GMO certification — yet the most recent state and local solicitations posted under this code are for food products and supplies, including fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, and school nutrition services. This mismatch indicates that the code classification in the state and local procurement systems does not reflect the actual work being bought.

The recent opportunities on record show school districts and state education agencies across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas soliciting for school nutrition and child nutrition services, with no mention of frozen bulbs or agricultural nursery stock in any of the documented scopes. The six visible solicitations include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026), the City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District's child nutrition grocery procurement (due April 29, 2026), the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026), and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026). This code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated commodity and warrants reclassification or review to ensure proper alignment with state and local purchasing needs.
