UNSPSC 50525815: Non GMO black splendor plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO black splendor 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 50525815 Non GMO black splendor plums (Commodity) describes fresh fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for black splendor plums specifically. Instead, the code's scope overlaps with broader fresh-produce procurement that school districts and park concession operators are actively buying: the Madison Metropolitan School District solicited petite bananas under a separate commodity code, Hancock County Schools requested over 200 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple and berry varieties for the 2026-27 school year, and the Bartow County School System sought local fresh fruits and vegetables for their nutrition program. These opportunities reveal that state and local food-service buyers purchase fresh fruit commodities through a mix of line-item bids, requests for proposals (RFP), and invitations for bid (IFB), typically with one-year contract terms and options to renew.

The issuing bodies soliciting produce under this family include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County), county parks departments (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state departments (State of Georgia). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, and Early County Schools all posting in May and June 2026, while Madison Metropolitan School District issued two separate produce bids in July 2026 due July 29. The Hancock County IFB for fresh produce (Solicitation PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) specified delivery to three school locations with a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term and firm pricing including all packing and transportation charges. Bartow County's local fresh fruit and vegetable RFP (PE55391NONST2026000000027) required sourcing from farms within 400 miles and ran through June 22, 2026 with a July 20, 2026 contract start. Madison Metropolitan's petite banana bid (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) projected annual contract value at $78,000 for 70–90 weekly cases during school sessions, requiring delivery five days a week in 150-count case packs. The code shows no recent opportunities specifically naming non-GMO black splendor plums; activity under this commodity code appears limited or misclassified in the state and local opportunity stream.
