UNSPSC 50585503: Non GMO round red potatoes

The variety of Non GMO potatoes known as Non GMO round red potatoes. 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 50585503 Non GMO round red potatoes is a Commodity code encompassing fresh potato products procured for food service operations at state and local public institutions. State and local governments buy potatoes under this code primarily through school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices, all of which manage centralized food service operations serving student populations, park visitors, patients, and other constituents. The work involves sourcing fresh produce meeting quality, food-safety, and delivery specifications, often with preferences for domestic sourcing and compliance with USDA nutritional or production standards. Vendors must typically meet health codes, liability insurance requirements, and food-handling certifications; school districts in particular impose Buy American and HACCP plan compliance alongside delivery logistics tied to operational schedules.
