UNSPSC 50535852: Dried non GMO marked red plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO marked 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 50535852 Dried non-GMO marked red plums, a Commodity code, captures school food service, state institutional feeding programs, and senior meal delivery contracts where dried fruit and fresh produce sourcing occurs within broader grocery and food-supply solicitations. State and local governments purchase dried plums and other dried fruits as components of National School Lunch Program compliance, institutional cafeteria operations, and congregate meal services, integrated into larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone line items. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county health and human services departments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). The code shows activity across multiple issuing-body types with school districts as the most frequent buyers in the recent record.
