UNSPSC 50525705: Non GMO dapple fire plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO dapple fire 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 50525705 Non GMO dapple fire plucot is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's name references a specific fruit variety, yet the recent opportunities block records no solicitations for dapple fire plucots. Instead, the recent postings span broad fresh produce procurement — bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and mixed fresh fruits and vegetables — issued by school districts across multiple states for child nutrition and school meal programs. The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and school nutrition programs at the local and regional level, including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia cooperating on behalf of 30 districts), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida).

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas school districts, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Florida, and a multistate cooperative arrangement through the GEC Buying Cooperative. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026); Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally-grown produce including watermelons, apples, and strawberries (posted April 3, 2026, due May 4, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for approximately 72 produce line items with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026). The code does not reflect actual procurement intent under its stated commodity name and warrants reassessment for relevance to produce-supply business development.
