UNSPSC 50533490: Dried non GMO sunset grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO sunset 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 50533490 Dried non-GMO sunset grapes is a Commodity code representing a single product line within state and local food procurement. Recent opportunities solicited under this code do not specifically name dried grapes as a line item; instead, state and local governments are buying the code as part of broad grocery and food-service contracts that span produce, proteins, dairy, snacks, beverages, and prepared meals for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service operations. The actual purchasing activity falls across school districts, county boards of education, county government food-service operations, and state health agencies, with issuing bodies including Bridgeport Board of Education, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District. Vendors must typically meet Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), comply with the National School Lunch Program and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, maintain HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, carry product liability and general liability insurance, and accept orders through school nutrition management systems such as LINQ School Solutions.
