UNSPSC 50525805: Non GMO autumn giant plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO autumn giant 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 50525805 Non GMO autumn giant plums is a Commodity code that describes fresh plums procured for institutional food service and school nutrition programs, though recent state and local opportunities under this code show minimal direct activity. The code spans fresh produce supply contracts where state and local agencies—primarily school districts and county recreation departments—solicit whole fruits for cafeteria operations, prepared meal programs, and concession facilities. When plums or comparable specialty fruits appear in state and local procurement, they are typically bundled within broader fresh produce requests rather than solicited as standalone line items; the recent opportunities in this dataset reveal school districts and county boards requesting fresh fruit across dozens of product categories, with individual varieties treated as substitutable commodities within weekly or seasonal delivery schedules.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Wisconsin school districts. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026, and Bartow County School System (Georgia) released an RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables with proposals due June 22, 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) posted two fresh produce RFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, with bids due July 29, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line food bids including produce items, with bids due June 8, 2026. The code shows limited direct solicitation volume; most institutional produce procurement occurs through general fresh-fruit-and-vegetable requests where non-GMO autumn giant plums would qualify as one among many available items rather than a named specification. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor school district nutrition program RFBs and county park concession food-service solicitations across southeastern and midwestern states, where the recent bid cycle shows concentrated activity through summer 2026.
