UNSPSC 50535321: Dried non GMO encore peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO encore 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 50535321 Dried non-GMO encore peaches is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single dried-fruit product, but the recent opportunities block shows little activity directly matching this specific item. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily school districts and county nutrition services buying bulk grocery and fresh-produce items for child nutrition, senior meal, and adult care food programs. The Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hillsborough County, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District have all posted solicitations in the past four months for food and consumable products supporting National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American domestic-content requirements, nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, HACCP food safety plans, and delivery to school and senior-center locations.

Geographic activity centers in Connecticut (Bridgeport), Georgia (Hancock County and statewide), Texas (El Paso), and Florida (Hillsborough County), with additional Mississippi school-district activity.
