UNSPSC 50606208: Frozen Non GMO early golden summer crookneck squash

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as Non GMO early golden summer crookneck squash 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 50606208 Frozen Non GMO early golden summer crookneck squash is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen produce items procured by state and local governments. While the code's nominal scope is narrowly defined, recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code actually reflect purchases of broad food-service categories — shelf-stable and frozen products including proteins, grains, dairy, and produce — rather than frozen squash specifically. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). County purchasing offices and school food-service procurement departments are the primary buyers; school districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain specifications, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives when available.
