UNSPSC 50525716: Non GMO flavorella plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO flavorella 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 50525716 Non GMO flavorella plucot is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The source material identifies no solicitations for flavorella plucot, a specialty stone fruit hybrid, under this code. Instead, the recent opportunities block contains seventeen solicitations spanning fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs across multiple states—all tagged to this UNSPSC code but predominantly requesting mainstream fruits and vegetables (apples, bananas, berries, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, peppers, melons, citrus, leafy greens, potatoes, onions, and eggs) for institutional food service rather than the niche specialty item the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's intended scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code has been repurposed as a catch-all family-level classifier for fresh produce solicitations broadly.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with solicitations from Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (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, cooperative procurement), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida). Georgia school districts account for the heaviest recent concentration. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual contract value $78,000) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026, sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin); Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (proposals due March 4, 2026); and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFQDST for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at approximately 18 elementary school sites with an estimated annual budget of $600,000 (proposals due March 11, 2026). All opportunities require HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, commercial liability insurance, and often target local or domestic sourcing with emphasis on product quality, food safety, and timely weekly or bi-weekly delivery to school locations.
