UNSPSC 50603702: Frozen Non GMO fino fennel

The variety of Non GMO fennel known as Non GMO fino fennel that has 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 50603702 Frozen Non GMO fino fennel is a Commodity code that captures frozen specialty produce items purchased by state and local food service operations, particularly school districts and county human services departments. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying this item as part of larger food procurement bundles supporting school meal programs, senior nutrition initiatives, and institutional food service. The code sits within a broad food-procurement ecosystem where jurisdictions issue informal quotes, line-item bids, and formal RFQs for shelf-stable and frozen food products, often bundled with vegetables, proteins, grains, and supplies. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (human services and senior nutrition), state procurement offices, and independent school districts operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across multiple sites.
