UNSPSC 50525824: Non GMO early rosa plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO early rosa 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 50525824 Non GMO early rosa plums is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this category. The recent opportunities tagged to this code uniformly solicit fresh produce distribution contracts serving school nutrition programs — bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and prepared produce items — rather than early rosa plums specifically. Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 solicits petite bananas in 150-count case packs for weekly delivery at $78,000 annually, while Hancock County Board of Education's IFB encompasses over 200 line items spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and citrus fruits for the 2026-27 school year. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its stated commodity, with no early rosa plum procurement identified across the nine posted opportunities spanning school districts in Wisconsin, Georgia, Texas, and Florida.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies under this classification, with procurement driven by the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding. Activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County through the GEC Buying Cooperative), with additional recent solicitations from Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Bartow County Schools in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, and Austin Independent School District in Texas. Most districts issue IFBs or RFPs with response dates between late March and late July 2026, requiring weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites, HACCP plans with traceability and 24/7 recall capability, Buy American compliance, general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and firm pricing for 12-month contract terms with optional renewal periods. Estimated annual contract values range from $78,000 for single-item banana contracts to $4.4 million for the GEC Buying Cooperative regional produce and eggs procurement serving 18 school districts across Georgia.
