UNSPSC 50525807: Non GMO autumn rosa plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO autumn rosa 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 50525807 Non GMO autumn rosa plums, a Commodity code, describes fresh produce items that state and local governments procure for food service operations, primarily school nutrition programs and park concessions. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables across multiple categories—petite bananas by case count, generic fresh produce by volume, specialty fruits like autumn rosa plums, and mixed fresh-fruit-and-vegetable snacks for school lunch programs. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), special healthcare organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level food-service procurement (State of Georgia). School nutrition departments dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts issuing IFBs and RFBs for produce to support USDA meal programs.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia and Wisconsin, with recent bids from Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Early County Schools, and State of Georgia on the Georgia side, and Madison Metropolitan School District on the Wisconsin side. Collier County (Florida) and Marion Health Care Coalition (location not specified) represent additional jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual contract value of $78,000 and weekly usage of 70–90 cases; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce (over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits) for the 2026–27 school year, bids due June 26, 2026; and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, proposals due June 22, 2026. School districts typically weight cost at 40%, require HACCP plans and E-Verify compliance, mandate delivery to central warehouses during early-morning windows, and enforce Buy American or local-sourcing provisions where applicable.
