UNSPSC 50606907: Frozen Non GMO hurst green shaft peas

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO hurst green shaft peas 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 50606907 Frozen Non GMO Hurst green shaft peas, a Commodity code, covers frozen pea products procured by state and local governments primarily for food service and nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show the code applies to bulk frozen vegetable purchases for senior services meal programs, school lunch and breakfast operations, and institutional food supply contracts where frozen peas appear as line items within broader food procurement. Issuing bodies include county social services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and independent school districts (Early County Board of Education). Quantities range from dozens of cases in senior nutrition programs to hundreds of line items across multi-school breakfast and lunch operations, with delivery requirements typically F.O.B. Destination to institutional kitchen facilities, temperature and quality specifications (undamaged packaging, proper labeling, USDA compliance where applicable), and award based on lowest responsive and responsible bidder evaluated per unit of measure.
