UNSPSC 50533102: Dried non GMO brown turkey figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO brown turkey figs 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 50533102 Dried non-GMO brown turkey figs is a Commodity code covering specialty dried fruit products sourced by state and local governments primarily through school nutrition and institutional food-service contracts. State and local procurement under this code flows through school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners' offices seeking to meet federal nutrition standards and Buy American requirements in bulk food procurement. The work involves supplying dried figs as line items within larger grocery and food-service solicitations that span breakfast items, produce, condiments, and specialty ingredients for National School Lunch Program compliance, state-supported living centers, senior meal programs, and summer food service initiatives.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions.
