UNSPSC 50592000: Dried Non GMO broccoli

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO broccoli that has 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 50592000 Dried Non-GMO broccoli, a Class code, addresses fresh and processed produce procurement by state and local governments, though recent opportunities tagged to this code span a much broader grocery and food-service scope. State and local buyers use this code to solicit dried and fresh broccoli alongside complementary produce, meal components, and food-service supplies for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. Issuing bodies include school districts (independent and county-level), county commissioners' offices, state health and human services agencies, and municipal purchasing departments. The work ranges from single-item commodity purchases to comprehensive food-service contracts spanning hundreds of line items, with requirements typically including Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP plans, nutritional compliance certifications, and delivery to multiple school or institutional sites on firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges.
