UNSPSC 50525704: Non GMO dapple dandy plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO dapple dandy 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 50525704 Non GMO dapple dandy plucot is a Commodity code that shows no material recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code are solicitations for fresh produce supply to school nutrition programs, but they request broad categories of fresh fruits and vegetables—bananas, apples, berries, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, and eggs—rather than the specific fruit variety named in the code. School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida dominate the buyer mix, along with a handful of county systems, issuing RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for annual produce contracts serving National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's request for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and Hillsborough County Public Schools' solicitation for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (RFP 26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026).

The geographic concentration reflects heavy activity in Georgia (Hancock County, Glynn County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County school systems), with notable solicitations also from Wisconsin (Madison), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Texas (McAllen and Austin independent school districts). All of these opportunities involve standardized produce line items purchased through cooperative or competitive bidding processes with firm pricing and delivery to multiple school sites. The code's nominal specification—non-GMO dapple dandy plucots, a specialty hybrid fruit—does not align with what school nutrition programs are actually buying under this classification. This mismatch suggests the code assignment may reflect a data entry or taxonomy error rather than genuine market activity for the specified commodity. Firms pursuing this code should verify with issuing procurement offices whether dapple dandys are being requested as line items within broader produce RFPs, or consider whether activity actually belongs under a broader produce-family code.
