UNSPSC 50525710: Non GMO flavor heart plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO flavor heart 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 50525710 Non GMO flavor heart plucot is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local schools purchasing fresh produce are soliciting bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and prepared fresh-produce items through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs, but plucots—a hybrid stone fruit—do not appear in any of the representative recent school nutrition solicitations in the dataset. The mismatch between the code's designation and actual procurement signals that plucots are either not purchased through state and local food service channels at scale, are classified elsewhere in the taxonomy, or are acquired through different procurement vehicles not captured in these recent opportunities.

State and local school nutrition programs across Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida dominate the produce procurement landscape, with Georgia school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Glynn County) posting the highest concentration of recent activity. These jurisdictions solicit produce through sealed bids (IFBs and ITBs) and RFPs ranging from $78,000 annual value (Madison Metropolitan petite bananas, RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) to approximately $4.4 million for multi-district cooperative buys (Douglas County GEC Buying Cooperative, RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026). Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, liability insurance minimums ($500,000 to $2 million), E-Verify authorization, debarment certification, and traceability documentation. Geographic preferences for local or regionally grown produce (within 200–400 miles) appear in multiple recent solicitations, particularly those tied to USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grants. No recent opportunities name plucots as line items or specifications.
