UNSPSC 50531640: Dried non GMO poppycot apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO poppycot apricots that have been dried for preservation. 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 50531640 Dried non-GMO poppycot apricots is a Commodity code that encompasses dried fruit products purchased by state and local jurisdictions primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service contracts. While the code's nominal scope is narrow, state and local governments buy dried fruit as part of broader grocery and food-supply solicitations that span produce, proteins, dairy, and packaged goods for school lunch programs, senior meal services, and state-supported institutional facilities. Issuing bodies include school districts, county boards of education, county commissioners' offices, and state health and human services agencies. The work involves responding to nutrition-driven specifications including USDA compliance, Buy American provisions (typically requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content), allergen restrictions, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act standards. Vendors must submit detailed product documentation, nutritional analyses, labeling information, health inspection records, and professional references, and accept blind taste testing and laboratory analysis at their expense.
