UNSPSC 50594002: Dried Non GMO english peas

The variety of Non GMO green peas known as Non GMO english peas 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 50594002 Dried Non GMO english peas is a Commodity code covering dehydrated legume products used in institutional food service and school nutrition programs. State and local governments buying under this code procure dried peas primarily as components of larger food-service contracts—supporting school lunches, senior meal programs, and facility dining operations. The work is solicited by school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county governments operating congregate meal and home-delivery nutrition programs. Dried peas appear as line items within broader grocery and food-supply RFQs and IFBs rather than as standalone procurements; they are subject to Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content (typically 51 percent in processed products), nutritional standards compliance (Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act requirements for school nutrition), and HACCP food-safety protocols.
