UNSPSC 50605522: Frozen Non GMO guerro peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO guerro 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 50605522 Frozen Non GMO guerro peppers, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of frozen peppers meeting non-GMO specifications for use in institutional food service and meal programs. State and local governments solicit this code primarily through county boards of commissioners managing senior services and community programs, state departments of human services or equivalent, and school districts operating breakfast and lunch programs under federal nutrition guidelines. The work encompasses routine procurement of frozen vegetables as components of larger shelf-stable food and fresh-produce purchasing cycles, typically via informal written quotes (IWQ) or line-by-line bids that establish unit pricing and delivery terms for the contract period.
