UNSPSC 50532009: Dried non GMO marionberries

The variety of non GMO blackberries known as non GMO marionberries 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 50532009 Dried non-GMO marionberries (Commodity) does not match the scope of state and local government purchasing under the code's nominal specification. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried marionberries or any other dried specialty fruits; the identified opportunities span fresh produce contracts, comprehensive grocery and food service procurement for school districts and county systems, senior meal delivery services, and bulk meal catering for municipal operations.

The available posting data shows no relevant recent activity under this code. State and local procurement offices are soliciting fresh produce, mainstream grocery items, prepared meal services, and broad food supply and distribution contracts, but no source document names or describes dried marionberry procurement.
