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 (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement most commonly as part of broader fresh produce solicitations for school nutrition programs, county parks and recreation food services, and healthcare coalitions—though the code shows minimal recent activity specifically targeting this commodity line item in isolation. State and local governments use this code when procuring fresh fruit for meal service, concession operations, and nutrition programs, typically bundled within larger produce contracts rather than as standalone line items. Issuing bodies include county school districts, county recreation authorities, and regional healthcare organizations. Recent solicitations show school districts (particularly Madison Metropolitan School District and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia) and county parks systems (Collier County, Florida) as active procurers of fresh produce under related commodity codes, with emphasis on USDA compliance, food safety certification, and delivery scheduling to multiple site locations.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin, with secondary activity in Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026), which specified sourcing within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin, with weekly delivery of 5,900 servings; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items across multiple fruit and vegetable varieties (due June 26, 2026, contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027); Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables requiring sourcing within 400 miles and delivery to the central warehouse (due June 22, 2026, contract term July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027); and Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park including concession fruit and beverage offerings (due March 6, 2025). School districts dominate the buyer base, with sourcing preferences heavily weighted toward local and domestic agricultural content, HACCP compliance, traceability documentation by farm of origin, and firm pricing for 12-month contract periods. Most solicitations evaluate cost at 30–40%, with significant points allocated to geographic preference, product quality and variety, and diverse-owned business status.
