UNSPSC 50525842: Non GMO jamaican plum

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO jamaican plum. 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 50525842 Non GMO Jamaican plum, a Commodity code, describes specialty fresh fruit procurement by state and local governments, though recent opportunities show no direct solicitations for Non GMO Jamaican plums specifically. Instead, the code's activity reflects broader fresh produce purchasing by school districts, county parks departments, and health care coalitions seeking produce vendors for food service operations. The work being solicited encompasses fresh fruit and vegetable supply, delivery, quality assurance, and compliance with food safety standards including HACCP plans, traceability documentation, and temperature-control requirements during transport and storage. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posting multiple RFBs and RFPs for fresh produce contracts. County parks departments and health care coalitions appear as secondary buyers; Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited food vendor proposals for park concession operations, and Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals for operational food service needs.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with secondary activity in Florida. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, contract value estimated at $78,000 for September 2026 through June 2027, bids due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (approximately 5,900 servings weekly for elementary students, bids due July 29, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school locations (bids due June 26, 2026, contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027) demonstrates the scale and complexity of school nutrition procurement under this code. Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 required local sourcing within 400 miles and applied weighted scoring on cost (30 points), seasonal variety (25 points), and operational proficiency (20 points), with contract award anticipated July 20, 2026. All school district solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions where applicable, domestic agricultural commodity preferences, HACCP compliance, E-Verify authorization, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1 million.
