UNSPSC 50535301: Dried non GMO amber crest peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO amber crest peaches 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 50535301 Dried non-GMO amber crest peaches is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, maps narrowly to specialty dried fruit items but appears in school nutrition, institutional food service, and senior meal programs where the code nominally matches the solicitation scope. State and local governments use this code when sourcing specific dried fruit products for large-volume food service contracts. The issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipal purchasing offices. School districts and county-level food service operations drive the bulk of identified activity, reflecting institutional nutrition procurement focused on the National School Lunch Program and senior meal initiatives.
