UNSPSC 50586201: Non GMO beauregard sweet potatoes

The variety of Non GMO sweet potatoes known as Non GMO beauregard sweet 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 50586201 Non GMO Beauregard sweet potatoes, a Commodity code, covers fresh sweet potato sourcing for food service operations run by state and local jurisdictions — school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and state agencies. State and local governments buy these potatoes primarily as components of institutional food service programs, including school lunch and breakfast operations, regional park concessions, and healthcare facility cafeterias. The work itself is straightforward procurement: vendors supply fresh produce meeting specified quality, delivery, and food-safety standards to multiple facilities on regular schedules. Issuing bodies span school districts, county parks and recreation divisions, health-care coalitions, and state procurement offices; school districts appear as repeat buyers in recent activity.
