UNSPSC 50595907: Dried Non GMO hative de niort shallots

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO hative de niort shallots 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 50595907 Dried Non GMO native de niort shallots is a Commodity code that captures dried specialty produce items purchased by state and local education, health services, and nutrition programs. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show that state and local governments are procuring food and consumable products for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and state-operated facilities—though the opportunities span a much broader scope of fresh and packaged groceries, produce, and meal components rather than dried shallots specifically. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies, supplemented by county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners. The work includes sourcing ingredients and finished meal components that meet federal nutrition standards (including the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act and National School Lunch Program requirements), Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed goods), allergen restrictions, HACCP compliance, and delivery to centralized warehouses or school sites on firm-fixed pricing with Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in the Southeast and Texas.
