UNSPSC 50614002: Canned or jarred Non GMO english peas

The variety of Non GMO green peas known as Non GMO english peas that have been canned or jarred 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 50614002 Canned or jarred non-GMO English peas is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable canned vegetable products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service supply contracts for institutional feeding operations. State and local agencies buy canned peas alongside dozens of other shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, fruits, condiments, and food service consumables to stock kitchens and cafeterias at correctional facilities, state supported living centers, schools, and senior services programs. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health and human services departments, state prison systems, county senior services divisions, and school districts, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple state supported living center food service contracts. Canned peas are typically specified as one line item among 20 to 400+ line items in comprehensive food procurement bids, often with brand-specific options or approved equivalents permitted, and are evaluated for USDA grade compliance, shelf life, sodium content, and packaging specifications.
