UNSPSC 50555834: Canned or jarred non GMO grand rosa plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO grand rosa plums 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 include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), municipalities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state-level institutions (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, state supported living centers). The mix reflects both routine institutional food-service procurement and periodic competitive rebidding cycles for multi-year contracts spanning food supply to detention facilities, senior centers, school cafeterias, and state hospitals.
