UNSPSC 50605207: Frozen Non GMO express yellow o-x onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO express yellow o-x onions 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 50605207 Frozen Non-GMO Express Yellow O-X Onions is a Commodity code covering specialty frozen vegetable products. In practice, state and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing general food items for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, county senior services, and state agency cafeterias — where onions and other frozen vegetables appear as line items within broader food supply contracts rather than as standalone specialty purchases. The issuing bodies include county commissioners' offices, state procurement divisions, and school district nutrition departments, each buying frozen and shelf-stable foods in bulk for meal programs and community services.
