UNSPSC 50535866: Dried non GMO red rosa plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO red rosa 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 50535866 Dried non GMO red rosa plums is a Commodity code that state and local procurement offices nominally classify under this code, though the recent opportunities block does not isolate dried plums as a distinct line item or focus. Instead, state and local governments procure dried plums as part of broader food and consumables bundles for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The issuing bodies span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). School districts and state health agencies appear as repeat buyers, soliciting fresh and processed food items including dried fruits under nutrition program contracts.
