UNSPSC 50586311: Non GMO green tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomates known as Non GMO green tomatoes. 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 50586311 Non GMO green tomatoes is a Commodity code covering fresh produce procurement by state and local public bodies. State and local governments use this code to solicit fresh vegetables — particularly tomatoes and other produce items — for food service operations across parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and state institutions. The solicitations under this code reflect a mix of direct produce procurement (fresh fruits and vegetables delivered on contract schedules) and bundled food-service concessions where fresh produce is one component of a larger food-and-beverage operation. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, school districts, state purchasing offices, and healthcare-affiliated organizations; school districts and state agencies appear as repeat buyers seeking produce to support child nutrition programs and institutional food service.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Georgia, and multistate cooperative arrangements.
