UNSPSC 50525802: Non GMO angeleno plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO angeleno plums. 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 50525802 Non-GMO angeleno plums is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under recently posted opportunities. The code's nominal scope targets a specific fresh fruit variety, yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code span broad institutional food service procurement—bananas, mixed fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive school nutrition program supplies across Georgia, Texas, and Florida school districts. The mismatch signals that this code receives tagging errors in state and local procurement systems rather than genuine demand for non-GMO angeleno plums. School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing body mix, with repeat activity from Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, and Douglas County School System conducting cooperative purchasing procurements through vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Georgia, with additional solicitations from Texas (McAllen Independent School District and Austin Independent School District) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 for 70–90 cases weekly), Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (proposals due March 4, 2026, covering 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two), and Liberty County Board of Education's IFB for food and produce on an annual fixed-price contract with prospective price redetermination (bids due April 29, 2026). School nutrition programs consistently require Buy American compliance, HACCP plans with traceability systems, general liability insurance in the $1–$2 million range, weekly or bi-weekly deliveries during early-morning windows, and compliance with USDA whole-grain and nutritional standards. The code shows no genuine recent opportunities specifically for non-GMO angeleno plums and should not be pursued based on the available procurement signals.
