UNSPSC 50586901: Non GMO bikini peas

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO bikini peas. 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 50586901 Non GMO bikini peas is a Commodity code covering fresh produce items procured by state and local agencies for food service operations. State and local governments buy fresh fruits and vegetables—including specific produce like bikini peas—through this code for school lunch programs, county parks concessions, healthcare facility foodservices, and state institutional dining. The issuing bodies are diverse: school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia), county boards (Collier County in Florida), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Scope of work typically includes line-by-line produce bids specifying product quality, delivery schedules, temperature controls, stock rotation, food safety compliance (HACCP plans, recall procedures), and pricing with firm terms and escalation provisions tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks. Domestic sourcing preferences and whole-grain or low-sodium formulations are common evaluation criteria. Vendors must maintain general liability insurance, satisfy debarment and suspension verification, comply with E-Verify requirements, and allow piggybacking rights for other eligible jurisdictions on identical bid terms.
