UNSPSC 50623204: Non GMO wintercress purees

The variety of Non GMO cresses known as Non GMO wintercress. 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 50623204 Non GMO wintercress purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code procure shelf-stable and prepared food products for institutional food service operations, including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services centers, and state health departments. Recent opportunities show that actual procurement spans prepared foods (french fries, hashbrown patties, chicken wings), canned and frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy products, condiments, and consumable food service supplies (containers, napkins, straws, foil sheets, hairnets), rather than wintercress purees specifically. The issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state comptroller procurement divisions. Vendors typically respond to IFBs and informal written quotes with firm, fixed unit pricing on F.O.B. Destination terms; delivery within seven days of order receipt is standard, and bidders must demonstrate three or more references, compliance with state employment verification requirements, HACCP or food safety certifications, general liability insurance, and adherence to USDA grade and FDA standards.
