UNSPSC 50595508: Dried Non GMO korean peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO korean 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 50595508 Dried Non GMO Korean Peppers is a Commodity code that captures specialty dried pepper products sourced for institutional food service and school nutrition programs. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying dried peppers as components of larger food supply contracts for school districts, state health and human services facilities, and county government meal programs. The solicitations show that dried peppers appear within broader grocery and consumable-product line-item lists rather than as standalone line items; they are typically one of many seasonings, condiments, and produce items required to support National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items), and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. Issuing bodies span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center), county government nutrition programs (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts and state-supported living facilities dominate the recent activity under this code tier.
