UNSPSC 50586828: Non GMO gailon

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO gailon. 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 50586828 Non GMO gallon, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce and food items for institutional food service operations, though the recent solicitation activity shows the code is being applied across a broad spectrum of food procurement rather than specifically non-GMO products. State and local governments buy fresh vegetables, fruits, milk, bread, meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, condiments, and ancillary food-service supplies under this code through school districts, county parks and recreation departments, health care coalitions, and state procurement offices. The scope includes delivery, quality assurance, food-safety compliance, storage and handling requirements, and vendor-specific certifications such as HACCP plans and agricultural sourcing documentation. Issuing bodies span institutional food service contexts: school districts operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, county parks departments managing concession operations, health care organizations, and state procurement offices consolidating food purchases.
