UNSPSC 50525839: Non GMO holiday plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO holiday 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 50525839 Non GMO holiday plums is a Commodity code that captures fresh fruit procurement for food service operations in state and local public institutions. State and local governments buy fresh produce — including holiday-season specialty items like non-GMO plums — through food service and school nutrition contracts that span year-round operations, seasonal purchasing, and specialized dietary programs. The work solicited under this code encompasses competitive bidding for fresh fruit delivery to schools, park concessions, healthcare coalition facilities, and county recreation departments, with vendors expected to meet food-safety compliance, HACCP planning, traceability documentation, and delivery-schedule precision. Issuing bodies include county school boards, independent school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and county commissioners' offices, predominantly in Georgia and Wisconsin based on recent activity.

Recent opportunities show school districts as the dominant buyer segment: Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, contract value $78,000, bids due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks processed and delivered ready-to-eat (5,900 servings weekly, Wisconsin sourcing within 400 miles required, bids due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education requested sealed bids on fresh produce spanning 200+ line items including apples, berries, and specialty fruits for delivery to three schools (IFB SN002-2027, bids due June 26, 2026); Early County Board of Education sought line-by-line food bids including fresh fruit items (bids due June 8, 2026). Outside schools, Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (response date March 6, 2025); Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals for 2026–2027 (proposals due August 21, 2026); and Bartow County School System requested local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, submission deadline June 22, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with secondary activity in Florida and broader state purchasing in Georgia. Local-sourcing preferences appear in multiple solicitations, with geographic radii of 400 miles common in Georgia school system RFPs and preference scoring applied in Wisconsin district procurements.
