UNSPSC 50582004: Non GMO chinese broccoli

The variety of Non GMO broccoli known as Non GMO chinese broccoli. 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 50582004 Non GMO chinese broccoli, a Commodity code, captures the procurement of fresh produce items, specifically non-GMO chinese broccoli and similar vegetables, that state and local governments buy for food service operations across schools, parks, healthcare facilities, and other public institutions. State and local solicitations under this code reflect demand from school districts operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, county parks and recreation divisions managing concession food services, healthcare coalitions procuring fresh produce for operational needs, and state-level food-service procurement offices. The work involves sourcing, delivery, and compliance with food-safety standards, quality assurance, domestic-sourcing preferences where applicable, and adherence to USDA nutrition guidelines and whole-grain or low-sodium specifications.
