UNSPSC 50525804: Non GMO autumn beaut plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO autumn beaut 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 50525804 Non GMO autumn beaut plums is a Commodity code covering fresh fruit procurement by state and local governments. The recent opportunities block shows little activity directly tied to this specific cultivar; instead, the code appears tagged on broad produce solicitations that encompass dozens of fruit and vegetable line items spanning multiple varieties. State and local food-service buyers—school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices—are actively soliciting fresh produce, but they typically issue line-item or category-level bids that include plums as one commodity among many rather than as a standalone SKU. When plums do appear in solicitations, they are bundled within broader fresh-fruit categories alongside apples, berries, citrus, and melons, suggesting that vendors competing for these contracts must carry inventory depth across multiple stone fruits and cultivars rather than specialize in a single variety.

School districts across Georgia, Wisconsin, and other states dominate the recent posting volume, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, and Early County Board of Education all soliciting fresh produce for the 2026–2027 school year (bids due June–July 2026). Hancock County's June 2026 IFB lists over 200 fresh produce line items with delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. Bartow County's RFP requires local sourcing within 400 miles and runs through June 2027 with four optional renewal years. A Marion Health Care Coalition produce proposal (due August 21, 2026) and Collier County's ITN for food services at a regional park (due March 6, 2025) round out the issuing-body mix. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, State of Georgia) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with secondary activity in Florida (Collier County) and South Carolina (Marion Health Care Coalition). The absence of standalone plum solicitations and the prevalence of mixed-commodity bundles signal that this Commodity code sees limited direct procurement activity; buyers source produce through broader fruit categories or via multi-category contracts where individual cultivars are negotiated as line items within the vendor's overall fruit offering rather than as distinct bid requests.
