UNSPSC 50533483: Dried non GMO scuppernong grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO scuppernong 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 50533483 Dried non-GMO scuppernong grapes (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement mainly as line items within broad grocery and food-service solicitations rather than as standalone buys; the code is subsidiary to larger school nutrition, senior services, and institutional food supply contracts. State and local buyers use this Commodity code when procuring food for National School Lunch Program compliance, institutional meal service, and child nutrition programs that must meet Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards and Buy American domestic-content requirements. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county commissioners funding senior meal delivery (Hillsborough County), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission operating the El Paso State Supported Living Center). School districts and county nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, typically bundling produce and specialty food items into large multi-line-item grocery contracts with firm fixed pricing, prepaid freight on standard pallets, and 48-hour to 24-hour emergency delivery capability.
