UNSPSC 50606313: Frozen Non GMO o'henry sweet potatoes

The variety of Non GMO sweet potatoes known as Non GMO o'henry sweet potatoes 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 50606313 Frozen Non GMO O'Henry Sweet Potatoes, a Commodity code, captures specific frozen produce items that state and local governments procure as line-item components within broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone categories. The code represents a narrow product family within institutional food purchasing, where sweet potatoes appear as one SKU among dozens of shelf-stable and frozen products in school nutrition programs, senior services meal provision, and county food-assistance operations. Recent solicitations show the code embedded in multi-item food bids spanning proteins, grains, condiments, and vegetables, where vendors respond to line-by-line pricing requests that include frozen produce alongside fresh, canned, and shelf-stable alternatives. Issuing bodies under this code include county governments managing senior-services food provision and school districts operating National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program contracts. State-level procurement offices also participate, though specific product-line detail in state solicitations is often withheld in summary attachments.
