UNSPSC 50623323: Non GMO yamato cucumber purees

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO yamato cucumbers. 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 50623323 Non GMO yamato cucumber purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing shelf-stable and prepared food products for institutional food service operations, including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services. Recent opportunities show that the code encompasses a broad range of consumable food items beyond the code name alone — specifically canned vegetables, prepared proteins, dairy products, condiments, grains, frozen specialty foods, and related food service supplies. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county social services and nutrition programs (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state correctional and facilities agencies. The State of Illinois also appears in recent activity. Solicitations are issued as IFBs and informal written quotes (IWQs), with response dates typically ranging from seven to thirty days. Vendors must meet USDA or equivalent grade standards, comply with Buy American provisions where applicable, deliver on FOB Destination terms with delivery timelines of seven days or fewer, and provide references demonstrating prior performance on similar food service contracts.
