UNSPSC 50525836: Non GMO greengage plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO greengage 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 50525836 Non GMO greengage plums is a Commodity code covering fresh specialty plum varieties sourced for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and healthcare food operations. State and local governments procure non-GMO greengages alongside broader fresh produce for cafeteria operations, patient meals, and community food programs. The code sits within the larger institutional fresh fruit and vegetable procurement family; when sourced, greengages typically appear as line items within multi-commodity fresh produce RFBs or RFPs that name specific fruit varieties, case counts, ripeness stages, and delivery specifications. Issuing bodies under this code include school districts (particularly those operating large cafeteria systems), county governments running parks and recreation food services, county school board education departments, and healthcare coalition organizations managing nutrition programs.

Recent opportunities show school districts in Wisconsin and Georgia, Collier County in Florida, and Marion Health Care Coalition soliciting fresh produce through competitive bids and RFPs with June through August 2026 due dates. Madison Metropolitan School District requested petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) at 70–90 cases weekly with an estimated annual value of $78,000; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce line items including multiple apple, berry, and specialty fruit varieties (due June 26, 2026); Bartow County School System in Georgia sought local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited food services for North Collier Regional Park including fresh produce concession options (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025). Non-GMO or locally sourced specifications appear frequently in school nutrition and parks RFPs, with evaluation criteria weighing cost at 40–50 percent and product variety, quality, and traceability at secondary tiers. Geographic concentration centers on school districts in Georgia and Wisconsin, with secondary activity in Florida and healthcare organizations nationally.
