UNSPSC 50605400: Frozen Non GMO peas

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO peas 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 50605400 Frozen Non GMO peas is a Class code covering shelf-stable and frozen vegetable products that state and local governments procure for food service operations, senior programs, and school nutrition initiatives. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring frozen and canned vegetables as part of larger food-service supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), with school districts appearing as active repeat buyers for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia.
