UNSPSC 50525814: Non GMO black ice plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO black ice 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 50525814 Non GMO black ice plums, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains seventeen school district food service solicitations, but none of them seek non-GMO black ice plums specifically; they request fresh produce assortments (bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, and prepared items) for child nutrition programs, farm-to-school initiatives, and school lunch and breakfast service. The code's narrow scope — a single specialty produce variety with specific genetic and horticultural attributes — does not match the institutional purchasing patterns evident in the opportunities, which favor broad-based produce vendors capable of supplying dozens of line items across multiple fruit and vegetable categories on weekly or monthly schedules.

The mismatch between the code and actual procurement activity suggests either a data-entry error in the source material or that non-GMO black ice plums, if purchased at all by state and local governments, are acquired through general produce or specialty fruit contracts rather than as a standalone commodity line. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and focus instead on UNSPSC codes aligned with broad fresh-produce supply, such as those covering mixed-fruit sourcing or specialty agricultural commodity procurement serving school nutrition programs.
