UNSPSC 50603707: Frozen Non GMO tardo fennel

The variety of Non GMO fennel known as Non GMO tardo 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 50603707 Frozen Non GMO tardo fennel is a Commodity code capturing fresh and frozen vegetable procurement by state and local governments. The code appears in practice as part of broader food-service solicitations where state agencies, county governments, and school districts source shelf-stable and perishable items for senior services, institutional feeding programs, and school lunch operations. The work is episodic and transactional — vendors respond to line-item bids or informal quotes for specific quantities of vegetables and protein products, typically with competitive award based on lowest responsive and responsible pricing per unit of measure, delivery within stated timeframes, and compliance with food-service documentation and cold-chain management standards.

Recent activity shows solicitations from Georgia counties and school districts.
