UNSPSC 50622606: Non GMO limelight cauliflower purees

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO limelight cauliflowers. 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 50622606 Non GMO limelight cauliflower purees is a Commodity code that describes specialized produce products, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show little activity directly aligned with non-GMO cauliflower purees specifically. Instead, the code appears in broader food procurement notices that encompass generic shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily institutional food-service purchasers — state health and human services agencies operating state supported living centers and state hospitals, county and municipal nutrition programs serving schools and senior services, and state correctional facilities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear repeatedly as major buyers of supplemental food and consumable products, while school districts in Georgia and state agencies in Oregon also solicit food products regularly. The work being solicited includes preparation and delivery of bulk food items for cafeteria, canteen, and campus food service operations, with vendors required to meet USDA grade standards, FDA compliance, specific nutritional and sodium specifications, and delivery within seven days of order receipt on FOB Destination terms.
