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 (Commodity) covers fresh produce supplied to state and local food-service operations, though recent activity under this code shows minimal relevant solicitations targeting specialty fruit items. The source contains one reference to a produce-procurement opportunity—Marion Health Care Coalition seeking fresh produce proposals in August 2026—but that scope encompasses broad fruits and vegetables without specification to dapple fire plucots or specialty stone fruits. State and local governments purchasing under this code typically operate through school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and other institutional food-service buyers seeking fresh fruit supply contracts. Recent solicitations reveal that institutional buyers are sourcing produce through formal RFB (request for bid) and ITN (invitation to negotiate) processes, with evaluation criteria emphasizing cost, quality compliance, delivery logistics, and increasingly local or regional sourcing preferences.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Upper Midwest, with recent opportunities posted by school districts in Georgia (Bartow County, Early County, Hancock County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and institutional food-service programs across multiple states. A representative solicitation is Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026), which required produce sourced within 400 miles of Madison and specified ready-to-eat, inspected, and packaged delivery with farm-of-origin traceability and a $0.20 per-pound organic preference discount. Another is Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), spanning over 200 line items including berries and specialty fruits, with delivery to three school sites and Buy American domestic agricultural commodity content requirements. The code itself shows sparse targeting of non-GMO dapple fire plucots specifically; procurement activity under this Commodity code appears minimal or misclassified in the current state and local market.
