UNSPSC 50553414: Canned or jarred non GMO black monukka grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO black monukka grapes that have been canned or jarred 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.

The issuing bodies mix state-level procurement offices (Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), and municipal school districts (Austin Independent School District, City of Bridgeport Board of Education). Jurisdictions frequently require compliance with Buy American provisions, prevailing wage where applicable, commercial liability insurance in the $1 million to $2 million range, and USDA commodity specifications for food products.
