UNSPSC 50525701: Non GMO black kat plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO black kat plucot. 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 50525701 Non GMO black kat plucot (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The opportunities on file—including food services for a regional park, general produce procurement by a healthcare coalition, petite bananas for a school district, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for elementary students, fresh produce for school nutrition programs, and food supplies for state and school system procurement—span common fresh produce categories (bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables) and processed food items, but none reference black kat plucots or specialty plucot varieties. The issuing bodies include Collier County (Florida) Parks and Recreation, Marion Health Care Coalition, Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education (Georgia), indicating that school nutrition programs and county/state food services dominate recent activity under this code designation.

Recent solicitations show school districts and county food programs as the primary buyers, with geographic concentration in Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida. Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFBs for petite bananas (70–90 cases per week, estimated annual value $78,000, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 servings weekly under USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program, due July 29, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026–27 school year via IFB (due June 26, 2026), while Bartow County School System sought local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026). Collier County Parks and Recreation issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025). The code shows active procurement activity in school nutrition and public food service, but the specific commodity designation (black kat plucot) does not match the actual procurement scope being sourced today.
