UNSPSC 50606905: Frozen Non GMO early onward peas

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO early onward 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 50606905 Frozen Non GMO early onward peas is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable and frozen food products for institutional food service — particularly school lunch and breakfast programs, senior services, and government cafeterias. Recent solicitations show that purchasing bodies acquire frozen vegetables including peas alongside broader food baskets that also encompass canned proteins, grains, dairy, bread, and condiments. The issuing bodies include county boards of education (supporting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations), county departments of community services, and state procurement offices managing multi-item food supply contracts. Vendors typically respond to line-item or unit-price bids, must meet USDA specifications including whole-grain and nutritional standards, and are required to maintain food safety compliance (HACCP plans, food recall procedures, biosecurity policies), general liability insurance, and domestic sourcing preferences where emphasized by the buying agency.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, with three recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Early County Board of Education issued FY27 Food Bid for school meal programs across three schools (RFQ, due June 8, 2026), encompassing 300+ food items with emphasis on low-sodium, whole-grain, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. The State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (RFQ, due June 22, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of food items for the Department of Community Services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), with delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville by December 7, 2026. Award decisions in school district and county contracts typically favor lowest responsive and responsible bidding with unit-price or per-ounce evaluation; contracts typically run one fiscal year with optional renewal terms and allow piggybacking by other jurisdictions.
