UNSPSC 50525819: Non GMO casselman plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO casselman 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 50525819 Non GMO casselman plums is a Commodity code covering specialty fresh-fruit procurement by state and local food-service buyers. The recent opportunity record shows minimal activity directly tied to this specific commodity: state and local governments procure it as part of broader fresh-produce buys for school nutrition programs, regional parks, and healthcare coalitions, where casselman plums appear alongside dozens of other fruit and vegetable line items rather than as standalone solicitations.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, and Early County Board of Education soliciting fresh-produce contracts that span multiple fruit varieties including apples, berries, citrus, and specialty items. Regional food-service operators—Collier County Parks and Recreation and Marion Health Care Coalition—also source fresh fruit, though the record does not show casselman plums specifically named in any recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITN. Georgia and Wisconsin are the primary geographic centers of recent activity. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (bid due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, citrus, and specialty fruits with delivery to three school locations), Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables (proposal due June 22, 2026, requiring sourcing within 400 miles), and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (bid due July 29, 2026, with approximately 5,900 servings weekly required and a $0.20 per pound organic preference). The code shows no standalone casselman plum solicitations in the recent record; buyers source casselman plums—if at all—as commodity-line items within broader fruit-and-vegetable contracts, typically under evaluation criteria that weight cost, geographic preference, product quality, and traceability rather than variety-specific attributes.
