UNSPSC 50582001: Non GMO broccolini

The variety of Non GMO broccoli known as Non GMO broccolini. 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 50582001 Non GMO broccolini is a Commodity code covering fresh produce items sourced for institutional food service operations across state and local public bodies. State and local governments procure non-GMO broccolini and similar produce primarily for school meal programs, public parks and recreation food service, healthcare facilities, and state food-supply contracts. The issuing bodies are school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices. Work under this code involves providing fresh vegetables meeting specified quality, freshness, and food-safety standards; delivery schedules tailored to institutional meal-service cycles; compliance with federal nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program); adherence to Buy American and domestic-sourcing preferences where applicable; and maintenance of cold-chain logistics to preserve product integrity from vendor to end facility.
