UNSPSC 50606209: Frozen Non GMO early prolific straight neck squash

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as Non GMO early prolific straight neck 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 50606209 Frozen Non GMO early prolific straight neck squash is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses shelf-stable and frozen food items procured by state and local jurisdictions for institutional food service, including senior services, school nutrition programs, and general government dining. State and local buyers under this code include county governments, school district boards of education, and state agencies; recent activity shows county purchasing divisions and school districts as primary issuing bodies, with counties sourcing for senior services and schools sourcing for National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. The work solicited reflects a mix of direct food purchases (vegetables, frozen items, proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments), delivery logistics with strict temperature and timing controls, compliance with federal nutrition standards (including USDA whole-grain specifications and Buy American provisions), and vendor qualification requirements such as HACCP plans, liability insurance, E-Verify verification, and food recall procedures.
