UNSPSC 50525823: Non GMO earliqueen plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO earliqueen 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 50525823 Non GMO Earliqueen Plums, a Commodity code, has generated minimal recent procurement activity that is substantively misaligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for earliqueen plums or specialty stone fruits specifically; instead, the posting history reflects broad institutional produce procurement dominated by school nutrition programs soliciting generic fresh fruit assortments (apples, bananas, berries, melons, citrus) as components of larger food-service contracts. The code's narrow focus on a single varietal does not correspond to what state and local government is actively buying at scale in the current market.

School districts and county school systems across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida are the primary issuing bodies in the recent opportunities, but they are soliciting produce through family-level or class-level aggregated specifications rather than commodity-specific line items. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162, petite bananas due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB #SN002-2027, 200+ produce line items due June 26, 2026), Muscogee County School District (ITB 26-017, fresh produce due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, 72 produce line items due March 4, 2026). These procurements typically bundle produce categories and award on a line-item or whole-vendor basis at competitive pricing tied to USDA terminal market reports, not on single-fruit specialty sourcing. The code shows little independent procurement volume and does not surface as a distinct buying signal in state or local contracting.
