UNSPSC 50603411: Frozen Non GMO hokus cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO hokus cucumbers that have been frozen 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 50603411 Frozen Non GMO hokus cucumbers is a Commodity code that addresses frozen vegetable products for institutional foodservice. However, the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under this code does not support frozen non-GMO hokus cucumbers specifically. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad-based school nutrition and institutional food procurement encompassing fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, dairy, meats, eggs, and miscellaneous food service items. The actual buying under codes in this family spans fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus), eggs, frozen entrees and vegetables, dairy products including fluid milk and ice cream, grains and breads meeting whole-grain and enrichment standards, proteins (meats, poultry, seafood), condiments, and paper and cleaning supplies for institutional kitchens. School districts and state agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat activity from the State of Georgia, multiple Georgia school systems (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Dallas Independent School District in Texas.
