UNSPSC 50534301: Dried non GMO advance loquats

The variety of non GMO loquats known as non GMO advance loquats 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 50534301 Dried non-GMO advance loquats is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this code. The recent opportunities solicited under 50534301 span broad food and consumable products for school nutrition programs, senior meals, state facilities, and institutional food service operations—ranging from fresh produce and grocery staples to prepared meals and kitchen supplies—not dried loquats specifically. State and local issuing bodies treating this code as a food-procurement vehicle include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), city boards of education (City of Bridgeport), county commissioners (Hillsborough County), and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). The scope encompasses fresh and processed fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, snack items, beverages, condiments, and prepared meals meeting Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards and Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content. Most opportunities impose firm fixed pricing for the contract term, compliance with HACCP food safety plans, nutritional labeling and testing, and delivery to multiple school or facility sites on standard pallets within narrow time windows.
