UNSPSC 50605901: Frozen Non GMO atlantic shallots

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO atlantic shallots 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 50605901 Frozen Non GMO atlantic shallots is a Commodity code that captures frozen specialty vegetable procurement, though recent state and local opportunities show the code being used in a broader food-procurement context that encompasses shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional kitchens. State and local governments soliciting under this code include county governments managing senior services and community nutrition programs, state agencies managing institutional food supply, and school districts operating child nutrition programs. The work being solicited ranges from line-by-line competitive food bids for school lunch and breakfast programs to informal written quotes for commodity purchases supporting county social services operations, with emphasis on product specifications, delivery logistics, compliance documentation, and lowest-responsive-bidder pricing evaluation.
