UNSPSC 50583317: Non GMO midget cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO midget cucumbers. 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 50583317 Non GMO midget cucumbers, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce procurement by state and local food service operators, school districts, and park concession vendors. The code reflects actual purchases of produce for operational food service — not just cucumbers per the nominal classification, but the broader category of fresh fruits and vegetables that food service operators source through cooperative and competitive bids. State and local buyers use this code to tag solicitations for fresh produce delivery, often as line items within larger food and supplies contracts. Issuing bodies include county parks departments managing concession facilities, school districts procuring for federal meal programs, state purchasing offices aggregating food service needs, and health-care and institutional food-service coalitions. The work typically requires vendors to meet food-safety compliance, delivery schedules across multiple sites, temperature control and stock rotation standards, and pricing anchored to USDA commodity data or market indices.
