UNSPSC 50583418: Non GMO thai eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO thai eggplants. 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 50583418 Non GMO thai eggplants is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under it are buying fresh produce — specifically vegetables and fruits — for food service operations including school meals, healthcare facility cafeterias, and park concessions.

The issuing bodies include school districts, county health care coalitions, county parks and recreation departments, and state procurement offices. A local-vendor preference appears in some solicitations, particularly at the county level, where established business addresses and employee residency in the region can factor into evaluation scoring.
