UNSPSC 50582503: Non GMO berlicum carrots

The variety of Non GMO carrots known as Non GMO berlicum carrots. 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 50582503 Non GMO berlicum carrots is a Commodity code covering fresh vegetable procurement by state and local government food service operations. State and local bodies acquire non-GMO carrots primarily through competitive produce bidding as part of broader food-service and nutrition programs. The scope includes fresh vegetables meeting specified quality, delivery, and food-safety standards, often with preferences for domestic sourcing, organic or non-GMO certification, and low-chemical handling. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts, county parks and recreation departments, health-care coalitions, and state procurement offices. School districts represent a significant buyer segment, particularly through National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program procurement cycles.

Recent activity shows solicitation across multiple state and local jurisdictions.
