UNSPSC 50606845: Frozen Non GMO moo

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO moo 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 50606845 Frozen Non GMO Moo, a Commodity code, describes frozen dairy products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs to support child meal services. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying frozen milk products, ice cream, and related frozen dairy items as components of larger food service procurements; the code appears in sourcing aligned with National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System) and state departments (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the buying pattern, typically bundling frozen dairy into comprehensive food-service RFPs and IFBs alongside produce, proteins, grains, and supplies. Procurement offices frequently use cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative (Douglas County School System acting as hub for 30 districts across Georgia) to consolidate demand and simplify vendor management.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary presence in Texas. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an RFP for food and non-food products due June 8, 2026, specifying Grade A pasteurized milk in multiple fat levels and non-dairy substitutes delivered Monday through Friday with strict temperature and stock-rotation requirements. The City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026, requiring 41-degree-Fahrenheit refrigeration and CN labeling compliance across ten school sites. The Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri) solicited grocery items for the 2026–27 school year (bids due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items including dairy products delivered to the central warehouse and individual schools. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) coordinated a multi-district RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs due March 4, 2026, with estimated spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), and a separate RFP for main-line food supply and distribution due February 18, 2026, with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 across 32 schools serving 25,500 students. School districts emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, food recall procedures, domestic sourcing preferences, and alignment with USDA nutrition standards in bid specifications.
