UNSPSC 50595505: Dried Non GMO cubanelles peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO cubanelles peppers 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 50595505 Dried Non GMO cubanelles peppers is a Commodity code representing specialty dried peppers and similar processed vegetable products that state and local food service operations—primarily school districts and state health and human services facilities—acquire as components of larger meal service contracts. State and local governments purchase dried peppers and related dried produce items as ingredients in institutional meal programs subject to National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions, and nutrition standards set by the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. The typical buyer is a school district's food and nutrition services department, a county board of education, or a state health and human services agency operating cafeteria or senior meal programs. Procurement typically occurs as line items within broader grocery or fresh produce solicitations rather than as standalone contracts; the code sits within larger food-service supply chains where vendors bid pricing on itemized produce lists alongside fresh vegetables, proteins, and other meal components.
