UNSPSC 50535832: Dried non GMO gar red plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO gar red plums 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 50535832 Dried non GMO gar red plums is a Commodity code that in recent state and local activity frames dried plum procurement as part of broader school nutrition and institutional food-service contracting. While the code's nominal scope names a single dried-fruit product, the recent solicitations show that state and local buyers tag food-service RFPs and ITBs spanning hundreds of line items — fresh produce, frozen goods, prepared meals, snacks, and specialty items — under aggregate food codes rather than isolating individual SKUs. School districts and state health agencies are the dominant issuing bodies under related food procurement codes, with contracts structured around National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and multi-location warehouse and site delivery. Vendors must typically accept ordering through school nutrition-management systems (such as LINQ or equivalent), maintain emergency stock for 24-hour backup delivery, provide HACCP plans, submit nutritional analyses and product labels at bid, and carry commercial general liability and products liability insurance at thresholds of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence.
