UNSPSC 50525827: Non GMO elephant heart plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO elephant heart 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 50525827 Non GMO elephant heart plums (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code nominally targets a specific specialty fruit variety, but state and local procurement opportunities recently tagged under this Commodity instead cover broad fresh produce categories — bananas, apples, mixed vegetables, berries, and prepared produce items — rather than elephant heart plums or any plum varieties. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with solicitations from independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Savannah-Chatham, Austin ISD, McAllen ISD), county and regional boards of education (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Douglas County), and one state agency (Georgia Department of Purchasing). Several districts appear multiple times across recent weeks, indicating sustained fresh-produce procurement activity, but none target plums or specialty fruit lines specifically.

Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia, where county school districts and multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles posted the majority of recent opportunities from February through July 2026; activity also extends to Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD). Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 (Petite Bananas, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual contract value $78,000), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items including apples and berries (bid opening June 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items with estimated volumes reaching 21,125 cases of Fuji apples (due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts totaling approximately $5.5 million annual spending (due March 4, 2026). The code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity diverge substantially — pursue only if your firm supplies broad fresh-produce lines to school nutrition programs rather than specialty plum varieties.
