UNSPSC 50525806: Non GMO autumn pride plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO autumn pride 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 50525806 Non GMO autumn pride plums, a Commodity code, describes fresh fruit procurement activity that state and local governments buy as part of broader food service and school nutrition operations. The recent opportunities show that this code captures fresh produce sourcing across multiple customer types—school districts, county parks departments, and healthcare coalitions—where non-GMO and organic certification, traceability, and compliance with food safety standards (HACCP plans, recall procedures, temperature control) are standard requirements. State and local issuing bodies are soliciting fresh produce under this code through RFBs, RFPs, and ITNs, with evaluation criteria typically weighting cost at 40 percent and service quality, product sourcing credentials, and vendor qualifications at the remainder. Local-vendor preferences, geographic sourcing mandates (produce sourced within 400 miles, Wisconsin-only sourcing), and diverse-owned business set-asides appear frequently in recent postings.

The code shows activity primarily across school districts in Georgia and Wisconsin, county park systems in Florida, and healthcare coalitions. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026 (projected annual value $78,000, 70–90 cases weekly during school sessions); Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB due June 26, 2026 (200+ line items, July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 term); Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables due June 22, 2026 (weighted scoring with 30 points on cost, emphasis on 400-mile local sourcing); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN 258360 for food services including produce at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025. Georgia and Wisconsin school districts dominate recent solicitation volume; secondary activity appears in Florida counties and Marion Health Care Coalition.
