UNSPSC 50525702: Non GMO blue gusto plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO blue gusto 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 50525702 Non GMO blue gusto plucot is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific produce item—a hybrid stone fruit variety—yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations matching this description. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad school nutrition procurement for fresh produce generally: Madison Metropolitan School District solicited petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4162 and 4163, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education requested fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and citrus (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); and Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System all posted RFPs or RFQs for institutional fresh produce supply covering dozens of produce line items per solicitation. None of these opportunities mention blue gusto plucots or any UNSPSC-code-specific commodity alignment.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either a tagging error in the underlying data or that this specific produce variety sees no material state and local demand. School districts and educational food-service programs—the dominant issuing bodies in the block—buy commodity-level produce in large volume, but their recent solicitations emphasize staples (apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus) and compliance with USDA standards, Buy American requirements, HACCP protocols, and localization preferences (Bartow County and Bulloch County both mandated 200 to 400-mile sourcing radii). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, Douglas County), with additional recent opportunities from Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Without solicitations actually naming this commodity, the code does not present a pursuit opportunity in state and local procurement at this time.
