UNSPSC 50525841: Non GMO interspecific type plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO interspecific type 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 50525841 Non GMO interspecific type plums, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. The recent opportunities dataset does not support solicitations specifically for plums or interspecific fruit varieties. The posted opportunities reference petite bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, and broad produce categories (apples, berries, citrus, stone fruits), but no issuing body has solicited non-GMO plums by name or as a distinct line item in the timeframe captured.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin dominate the recent produce-procurement activity in this dataset, with multiple competitive solicitations for school nutrition programs under the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB for fresh produce with 200+ line items, bid opening June 29, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa (RFP 26039RFPDST for FFVP specialty fruits and vegetables, estimated annual budget $600,000), and Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs to 30 districts, estimated annual spending $4.4 million for Area One). While stone fruits appear in some broad produce specifications, plums—particularly non-GMO interspecific types—do not emerge as a tracked or separately bid commodity in current state and local school nutrition procurement. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether plums are embedded within broader fresh-fruit line items or if procurement demand exists outside the school nutrition channel.
