UNSPSC 50606900: Frozen Non GMO sugar peas

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO sugar peas that have 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 50606900 Frozen Non-GMO Sugar Peas, a Class code, does not reflect active state and local procurement activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—seven solicitations from February through May 2026—are commodity food service procurements for school district child nutrition programs, county and municipal food supply operations, and state agency kitchens. The commodities being bought span fresh produce (apples, bananas, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, berries, citrus, root vegetables), whole eggs, specialty grocery and frozen foods, spices, ice cream, pre-cut and processed produce, breads meeting USDA whole-grain standards, fluid milk in multiple fat and non-dairy formulations, and miscellaneous food service supplies. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System) and state government agencies (State of Georgia, through food service operations and nutrition programs). Contract periods typically run July 1 through June 30 of the following year, with renewal options extending three months to four additional years. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP certification or food safety plans, carry general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, meet E-Verify requirements, and in many cases demonstrate three to five years of prior experience in public school food service.

Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia, where the State of Georgia, Douglas County School System, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and multiple additional school districts posted active solicitations in early 2026; Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County) and Texas (Dallas Independent School District) also show recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), proposals due March 4, 2026; the Dallas Independent School District's Request for Proposal for various food products (spices, ice cream, specialty items) for the 2026-2027 school year, due April 2, 2026; and the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support across three schools, due June 8, 2026, spanning approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food and paper supplies. The code's name and the actual solicitations diverge substantially—frozen non-GMO sugar peas represent a single commodity subset, while the tagged opportunities encompass comprehensive school nutrition and public food service supply chains. The code appears to function as a catch-all taxonomy entry for food service procurement rather than a discrete commodity line.
