UNSPSC 50626203: Non GMO diane sweet potato purees

The variety of Non GMO sweet potatoes known as Non GMO diane sweet potatoes. 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 50626203 Non GMO diane sweet potato purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure shelf-stable and prepared food products for institutional food service operations, though the recent opportunities do not show specific procurement of sweet potato purees under this code. Instead, the opportunities demonstrate that state and local buyers across this UNSPSC family are acquiring broad consumable food and kitchen supplies — including fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared proteins; dairy products; grains; condiments; and disposable food service supplies — for state hospitals, state supported living centers, corrections facilities, county senior services, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state comptroller statewide procurement divisions. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for supplemental and consumable foods to supply statewide facility networks.
