UNSPSC 50554312: Canned or jarred non GMO victory vista white loquats

The variety of non GMO loquats known as non GMO victory vista white loquats that have been canned or jarred 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 50554312 Canned or jarred non-GMO Victory Vista white loquats is a Commodity code that in practice covers shelf-stable, canned, and jarred prepared fruits and vegetables procured by state and local food-service operations — though recent solicitations tagged to this code overwhelmingly reflect generic canned and fresh produce procurement rather than the specific product named in the code taxonomy. State and local buyers under this code span county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, city school districts, and county social-services departments. Work solicited includes bulk procurement of canned applesauce, fresh produce (apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, melons), dried fruit bars, and shelf-stable food staples for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, school nutrition programs, and institutional food service. Specifications routinely require USDA commodity compliance, Buy American provisions (typically 51 percent domestic content for processed items), temperature and shelf-life standards, delivery FOB destination with prepaid transportation, firm fixed pricing, and compliance with FDA and USDA grade standards. Issuing bodies frequently reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors by line item and require three or more vendor references, proof of liability insurance, E-Verify authorization, and debarment verification.
