UNSPSC 50525811: Non GMO black bullace plum

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO black bullace plum. 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 50525811 Non GMO black bullace plum is a Commodity code that spans fresh fruit procurement for institutional food service—a narrow and specialized category that sees limited direct solicitation under this specific code designation. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts and public food service operators procuring fresh produce for student meals, park concessions, and institutional nutrition programs. The work involves supplying fresh fruit meeting specified ripeness, size, and quality standards, often with food-safety documentation (HACCP plans), delivery-time windows, temperature controls, and traceability requirements. Recent opportunities show that produce procurement is frequently bundled into broader fresh-fruit or fresh-produce RFBs rather than issued as single-commodity bids; when single-fruit categories do appear, they specify detailed product specifications (ripeness stage, case count, unit dimensions) and impose strict fill rates and substitute-product guarantees.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin school districts. Madison Metropolitan School District issued separate RFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, estimated $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 servings weekly, due July 29, 2026, contingent on federal grant funding). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple fruit varieties for the 2026–27 school year (sealed bids due June 26, 2026). Bartow County School System in Georgia sought local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education in Georgia requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items including fruits, due June 8, 2026. A Marion Health Care Coalition in Missouri solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026. The code shows no clear repeat issuer and spans school nutrition programs, county parks departments, and healthcare food service—a fragmented buyer base with seasonal demand patterns aligned to the school calendar.
