The variety of Non GMO winter squashes and Non GMO winter pumpkins known as Non GMO turk's turban squash. 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.

None of these solicitations list specialty vegetable purees as a category or line item. The code appears inactive for state and local procurement purposes.
