UNSPSC 50533610: Dried non GMO charbono grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO charbono 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 50533610 Dried non GMO charbono grapes is a Commodity code that captures produce and food items procured by state and local governments for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and senior meal delivery. The recent solicitations show that state and local buyers tag this code broadly across grocery procurement — the six opportunities span fresh produce, packaged meal boxes, prepared meals, and general food and consumable products. The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county health and social services agencies (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners for senior meals), state health and human services commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state general purchasing (State of Georgia). School nutrition and senior meal programs drive the majority of current activity.
