UNSPSC 50554419: Canned or jarred non GMO makokkee oranges

The variety of non GMO mandarin oranges and tangerines known as non GMO makokkee oranges 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 50554419 Canned or jarred non GMO makokkee oranges is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for this product. The code nominally describes preserved citrus fruit, but state and local governments are not actively buying canned or jarred non-GMO makokkee oranges under this code based on recent posted opportunities. The opportunities in the block span fresh produce, dried fruit, general food commodities, and canned applesauce and other shelf-stable items for school nutrition programs, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and county social services, but none target the specific commodity named in this code.

State and local procurement activity under related food-commodity codes shows sustained demand from school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, but this particular code shows no recent solicitation activity. Without evidence of recent opportunities under UNSPSC 50554419, the code presents no current pursuit signal for vendors offering canned or jarred non-GMO makokkee oranges into state and local markets.
