UNSPSC 50606903: Frozen Non GMO daisy peas

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO daisy 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 50606903 Frozen Non GMO daisy peas is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen vegetables—specifically peas—sourced as non-GMO and sold to state and local food service operations, primarily school nutrition programs. State and local governments purchase frozen peas under this code as components of school lunch and breakfast menus, where they serve as vegetable line items meeting USDA nutrition standards and whole-grain or low-sodium dietary preferences. The solicitations show school districts and their cooperative purchasing vehicles as the primary issuing bodies, with occasional state-level procurement for central kitchen operations and food warehousing. Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and the Douglas County School System (operating through the GEC Buying Cooperative) all issued food service bids in the recent window that encompassed frozen vegetable lines. The code reflects commodity-level purchasing within broader school nutrition RFPs and IFBs that list dozens or hundreds of line items; frozen peas typically appear as one ingredient among snacks, fruits, prepared entrees, grains, dairy, and condiments rather than as a standalone solicitation.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB due June 8, 2026, for food products supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools, encompassing approximately 300 food items including frozen vegetables; the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB due May 15, 2026, for frozen foods and grocery items for the 2026-2027 school year; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) solicited fresh produce and related items (Bid 26-34) with a due date of April 23, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) issued a grocery items solicitation due April 29, 2026, covering over 900 line items including vegetables and frozen products; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (due February 18, 2026) encompassing approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools, with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. Most contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with options for renewal; all solicitations require firm pricing for the contract period, delivery to multiple school sites on specified schedules, HACCP plans and food safety compliance, and general liability insurance from $500,000 to $2,000,000 depending on the issuing body.
