UNSPSC 50525838: Non GMO hiromi red plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO hiromi 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 50525838 Non GMO hiromi red plums is a Commodity code that names a single product line, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show minimal direct alignment with this narrow specification. State and local food services procurement — school districts, county parks departments, and healthcare coalitions — are actively sourcing fresh produce through RFBs, RFPs, and ITNs, but the posted solicitations reflect broad produce categories (petite bananas, fresh fruits and vegetables, apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus, and specialty items) rather than a specific variety or cultivar like hiromi red plums. The code appears to function more as a fallback taxonomy entry within a broader fresh-fruit purchasing landscape than as a driver of targeted vendor activity. When plums are mentioned at all in the recent block, they appear within larger fruit-and-vegetable line-item lists, not as standalone commodity requests.

Recent activity spans school nutrition programs (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, all in 2026), county parks and recreation (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), a healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and the State of Georgia's central food-procurement office. The geographic footprint includes Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026, with a 400-mile Wisconsin-sourcing requirement), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026, with Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content in processed products), and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026). These solicitations emphasize seasonal variety, traceability by farm of origin, local and domestic sourcing preferences, HACCP compliance, and delivery logistics. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor school district nutrition RFBs and multi-vendor produce aggregators rather than expect standalone hiromi plum specifications.
