UNSPSC 50605507: Frozen Non GMO kapia peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO kapia peppers 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 50605507 Frozen Non GMO kapia peppers is a Commodity code that represents specialty frozen produce items sourced without genetic modification. State and local governments procure frozen non-GMO peppers primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations supporting meal preparation across multiple sites. The work solicited under this code encompasses the supply and delivery of frozen kapia peppers meeting specific agricultural and processing standards, including compliance with Buy American provisions, USDA food safety requirements, HACCP certification, and food recall procedures. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and regional education consortia managing child nutrition services, though state departments and county food service operations also participate. School districts typically require vendors to maintain cold chain integrity, deliver to multiple school sites on defined schedules, and meet nutritional and ingredient specifications that increasingly emphasize non-GMO, low-additive, and domestic-sourcing preferences.
