UNSPSC 50533413: Dried non GMO black globe grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO black globe grapes 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 50533413 Dried non GMO black globe grapes is a Commodity code that describes specialized dried fruit products for institutional food service. State and local governments procure dried grapes under this code as line items within larger food and nutrition supply contracts, particularly for school districts operating National School Lunch Program operations and health and human services facilities. The work involves providing spec-compliant dried produce meeting USDA Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in many jurisdictions), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and allergen restrictions. Issuing bodies include school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners' offices managing senior nutrition and congregate meal programs. Vendors must meet stringent compliance requirements including HACCP plans, state health inspections, nutritional documentation, product formulation statements, E-Verify authorization, debarment verification, and insurance requirements ranging from $1 million to $2 million in general and products liability coverage.
