UNSPSC 50525816: Non GMO blackamber plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO blackamber 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 50525816 Non GMO blackamber plums is a Commodity code that designates a single produce line item; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code show little relevant activity. The code's nominal scope—non-GMO blackamber plums—does not align with the actual solicitations in the opportunities block, which name petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, mixed fresh produce, and comprehensive school nutrition produce baskets spanning apples, berries, vegetables, eggs, and dozens of other items. State and local procurement systems appear to have tagged these broader food-service solicitations with this narrow commodity code, creating a mismatch between the code name and the work being bought.

School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida dominate the recent activity, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System posting the most recent RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs between February and July 2026. The opportunities span fresh-produce supply contracts (RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026; IFB #SN002-2027 for mixed fresh produce due June 26, 2026; RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruit and vegetables due June 22, 2026) and cooperative-purchasing arrangements through vehicles like the GEC Buying Cooperative. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida. If your firm pursues institutional food-service supply contracts rather than single-commodity produce sales, this code's recent activity may signal broader school nutrition procurement cycles worth monitoring—but the code itself appears poorly mapped to actual market demand.
