UNSPSC 50542407: Frozen non GMO smoothey cherimoya

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO smoothey are cherimoya that has 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 50542407 Frozen non-GMO smoothie cherimoya is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for frozen cherimoya products or smoothies; instead, the opportunities posted under this code span comprehensive grocery and food-service procurement for school nutrition programs, including fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, condiments, and paper supplies across multiple jurisdictions. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices have tagged broad food-service solicitations with this code despite the code's narrow product focus, or that the code assignment does not reflect purchasing patterns. The issuing bodies include multiple school districts and boards of education (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), the State of Georgia, and the City of Bridgeport.
