UNSPSC 50525717: Non GMO flavorich plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO flavorich 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 50525717 Non GMO flavorich plucot is a Commodity code that appears in state and local school nutrition procurement but shows little activity closely aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for plucots or specialty tree fruits matching the code's description. Instead, the tagged opportunities span fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs — bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and other commodity staples — which fall outside the plucot category. The code does not appear to reflect actual purchasing patterns in the recent state and local record reviewed.

School district food service procurement in the source material centers on broad fresh-produce contracts (including fruits, vegetables, and eggs) supplied to multiple school sites on weekly or regular schedules. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 and weekly usage of 70–90 cases; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026, for delivery to three school sites from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative, covering fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two). Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin school districts dominate the recent activity. If pursuing opportunities under this code, verify with issuing bodies that plucot-specific requirements match their actual procurement needs, as the current record suggests institutional fresh-produce sourcing focuses on commodity staples rather than specialty fruit varieties.
