UNSPSC 50586862: Non GMO tree onion

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO tree onion. 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 50586862 Non GMO tree onion is a Commodity code covering specialty fresh produce items sourced to meet specific agricultural and dietary standards. State and local governments use this code to procure fresh vegetables, including non-GMO and heirloom varieties, for food service operations across schools, parks, healthcare facilities, and other institutional settings. The code captures demand for produce meeting quality, food-safety, and sourcing criteria that go beyond commodity-grade commodities — particularly items meeting USDA organic, non-GMO, local, or whole-food preferences increasingly embedded in institutional procurement standards. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments (parks and recreation), school districts (National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations), healthcare coalitions, and state agencies. School districts represent a significant buyer segment, with purchasing driven by nutrition standards, USDA meal-program compliance, and constituent preferences for fresh, minimally processed ingredients.
