UNSPSC 50605104: Frozen Non GMO dwarf green long pod okra

The variety of Non GMO okra known as Non GMO dwarf green long pod okra 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 50605104 Frozen Non GMO dwarf green long pod okra is a Commodity code capturing shelf-stable and refrigerated produce items that state and local jurisdictions procure for food service operations, senior nutrition programs, and school meal services. State and local governments buying under this code source frozen vegetables, fresh and processed proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods as components of larger food-service contracts. The issuing bodies reflect the breadth of public food procurement: county departments of community services purchasing for senior centers, state purchasing divisions acquiring food supplies across agency networks, and school districts procuring items to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Recent opportunities show that buyers often bundle frozen and shelf-stable items into consolidated line-by-line bids with delivery, temperature control, and quality-assurance requirements, and typically award on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible basis with firm pricing and escalation windows tied to USDA or CPI indices.
