UNSPSC 50591504: Dried Non GMO green globe artichokes

The variety of Non GMO artichokes known as Non GMO green globe artichokes that have been dried for preservation. 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 50591504 Dried Non-GMO Green Globe Artichokes, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities block returns no solicitations for dried artichokes or comparable specialty produce items tagged to this code.

State and local procurement under food service codes in this family spans fresh produce, grocery staples, prepared meals, and nutritional program support across school districts, county health agencies, and municipal food services. The absence of activity under the dried artichoke commodity does not reflect low overall demand for fresh and processed produce — rather, it signals that jurisdictions sourcing this item either tag it at a broader family level, use cooperative purchasing vehicles with pre-established vendors, or source through existing master grocery and produce contracts that do not issue discrete solicitations per specialty item.
