UNSPSC 50522604: Non GMO bushakan citrons

The variety of non GMO citrons known as non GMO bushakan citrons. 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 50522604 Non GMO bushakan citrons is a Commodity code that covers the supply of specialized fresh citrus fruits to state and local institutions, though recent solicitations in this code show limited alignment with the nominal product name. State and local governments buying under this code include county park systems, health care coalitions, school districts, and state agencies sourcing fresh produce for food service operations. The work involves supplying fresh fruits and vegetables — including citrus, bananas, berries, and other produce — to institutional food service operations under multi-month or annual contracts. Issuing bodies span county governments managing recreational facilities, school districts operating nutrition programs funded by USDA grants or general operations budgets, and specialized health care procurement entities. School districts appear as repeat buyers, with multiple recent RFB and RFP solicitations for produce and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under state nutrition programs.
