UNSPSC 50533111: Dried non GMO white king figs

The variety of non GMO figs known as non GMO white king 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 50533111 Dried non-GMO white king figs (Commodity) covers dried fig products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show the code tagged to broader grocery-and-fresh-produce RFPs and IFBs that span hundreds of line items across breakfast items, cereals, frozen products, fresh produce, and specialty items. State and local buyers under this code include school districts (city boards of education, county boards of education), state health and human services agencies, county commissioners, and state procurement offices. School districts appear as the dominant issuing bodies, typically procuring for National School Lunch Program compliance, with deliveries to central warehouses and school sites on firm-fixed pricing through multi-year contracts (typically July-to-June annual terms with renewal options).
