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, and the recent state and local opportunities under this code show minimal direct relevance to the specific category. The recent solicitations tagged to this code center primarily on broad produce procurement — fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, park concession operations, and health care coalition food services — rather than the specialized product this code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), a regional health care coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and a state department (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts sourcing fresh produce for student meal programs and concession operations.

The geographic spread spans Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and Florida (Collier County), with a state-level procurement from Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's request for bids on petite bananas under RFB 4162 (due July 29, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB covering over 200 line items and multiple apple and berry varieties (bids due June 26, 2026). Bartow County School System issued an RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposal deadline June 22, 2026). These solicitations emphasize food-safety compliance, HACCP plans, delivery logistics to school or facility locations, and in several cases local-sourcing or geographic-preference provisions. The code as currently tagged appears to be a mismatch with actual procurement activity; recent opportunities focus on commodity-level fresh produce procurement and food service supply chains rather than the specialized non-GMO variety item the code nominally specifies.
