UNSPSC 50525822: Non GMO dolly plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO dolly 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 50525822 Non GMO dolly plums is a Commodity code that frames fresh fruit procurement for institutional food service operations across school districts, health-care coalitions, and county parks and recreation departments. State and local governments are purchasing dolly plums and other fresh produce through food-service contracts that specify ripeness grades, size standards, delivery windows, temperature control requirements, and compliance with HACCP and food-safety protocols. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county-level park and recreation departments (Collier County), health-care organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate activity, typically bundling dolly plums with broader fresh-produce line-item bids to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest.
