UNSPSC 50592601: Dried Non GMO all the year round cauliflowers

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO all the year round cauliflowers 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 50592601 Dried Non-GMO all-the-year-round cauliflowers is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh and processed vegetables, particularly produce items including cauliflower and related cruciferous vegetables, supplied to school nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, senior meal services, and other institutional food operations. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through school districts and county education boards procuring fresh produce for breakfast and lunch programs under the National School Lunch Program and Child Nutrition funding, supplemented by state health agencies and county commissioners' offices sourcing food and consumable products for congregate senior meals, adult care facilities, and state-supported living centers. Solicitations consistently emphasize Buy American domestic-content requirements (minimum 51 percent for processed agricultural commodities), compliance with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, HACCP food-safety protocols, and firm fixed pricing with prepaid freight on standard pallet exchanges to multiple delivery locations over twelve-month or multi-year contract terms.

Recent activity spans school districts in Mississippi, Georgia, and Connecticut; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission; and county-level nutrition and aging-services operations in Florida and Georgia.
