UNSPSC 50525720: Non GMO red kat plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO red kat 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 50525720 Non GMO red kat plucot is a Commodity code that reflects fresh fruit procurement by state and local education and recreation agencies. However, the recent opportunities indexed under this code do not target red kat plucots or specialty fruit varieties at all; instead, they span broad fresh produce categories including bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and mixed fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, county parks concessions, and health-care coalition food service. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and special-purpose food-service entities (Marion Health Care Coalition). School district nutrition departments drive the majority of recent activity, with RFBs and ITNs posted through the summer and early fall of 2026 for contract periods typically running a full school or calendar year.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida. Madison Metropolitan School District issued separate RFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas (bids due July 29, 2026; estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin (bids due July 29, 2026; approximately 5,900 servings weekly). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted a comprehensive fresh-produce IFB in June 2026 covering over 200 line items across multiple produce categories with delivery to three school sites (bids due June 26, 2026; contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). Bartow County School System in Georgia issued an RFP in May 2026 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026 and contract award anticipated July 20, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an ITN in October 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, including concession facilities, with proposals due March 6, 2025. The code shows no indexed activity targeting specialty or heirloom fruit varieties; recent procurement focuses on commodity fruits and vegetables in standard school-nutrition volumes and configurations.
