UNSPSC 50525832: Non GMO gar red plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO gar red 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 50525832 Non GMO gar red plums is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually purchasing under it. The recent solicitation activity shows no fresh red plums. Instead, school districts across Georgia, Florida, and Texas are actively bidding for broad fresh produce supply contracts encompassing dozens of fruit and vegetable line items—apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, potatoes, and eggs—to support National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and federally funded USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs at elementary through high schools. The code assignment appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error; the opportunities posted are institutional school nutrition procurement, not specialty plum sourcing.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent RFPs and IFBs from Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). The opportunities are concentrated in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with activity also in Wisconsin. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000 for September 2026 through June 2027) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026, weekly delivery of approximately 5,900 servings); Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spending approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two); and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFQDST for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty fruits and vegetables (due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000). The code itself shows little relevant recent activity and should not be relied upon for pipeline development in school nutrition procurement.
