UNSPSC 50594004: Dried Non GMO snow peas

The variety of Non GMO green peas known as Non GMO snow 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 50594004 Dried Non GMO snow peas is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure packaged produce and food items for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The recent opportunities show that dried snow peas and similar produce items are solicited as line items within broader grocery and fresh-produce RFPs and IFBs rather than as standalone commodity buys. School districts and boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with county boards of commissioners and state health agencies also active. Solicitations typically span 100 to 1,100+ line items covering breakfast items, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, and prepared meals. Vendors must meet Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, HACCP plans, and liability insurance thresholds ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence. Pricing is firm fixed unless adjusted by Consumer Price Index formula, with deliveries on standard pallets to central warehouses and school sites on Monday-through-Friday schedules.
