UNSPSC 50525706: Non GMO early dapple plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO early dapple 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 50525706 Non GMO early dapple plucot is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally covers a specific fruit varietal, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it consist almost entirely of broad fresh produce and food service procurement by school districts, involving bananas, apples, vegetables, eggs, and comprehensive school nutrition program supply. A single opportunity directly matches the code name—Madison Metropolitan School District's July 2026 RFB for petite bananas—but the remaining seventeen opportunities solicited general fresh produce, prepared fruits, vegetables, eggs, and ancillary food service items bearing no connection to non-GMO plucots or any single fruit type. The mismatch suggests either tagging error in the state and local procurement databases or that plucots do not constitute a meaningful procurement category at the K-12 level.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida dominate the issuing-body mix, along with one state-level procurement by Georgia. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items across multiple varietal categories (due June 26, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs to serve 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for one geographic area (due March 4, 2026). Buyers emphasize HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, traceability documentation, local or domestic sourcing preferences where feasible, and nutritional standards aligned with USDA School Lunch Program guidelines. The code does not reflect active procurement demand for the specific commodity it nominally describes.
