UNSPSC 50524004: Non GMO malayan kumquats

The variety of non GMO kumquats known as non GMO malayan kumquats. 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 50524004 Non GMO malayan kumquats is a Commodity code that in practice spans fresh produce procurement by state and local food-service operations, though recent solicitations show no kumquat-specific activity. State and local governments buying under this code or nearby produce categories are sourcing fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty produce items for school nutrition programs, county parks and recreation concessions, healthcare facilities, and other institutional food services. The issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, through its Parks and Recreation Division), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and health-care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts dominate the recent opportunities, with multiple districts soliciting produce on annual or seasonal contracts tied to the school year and USDA federal nutrition programs.
