UNSPSC 50525843: Non GMO joanna red plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO joanna 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 50525843 Non GMO joanna red plums is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific produce item, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for joanna red plums or any plums at all. State and local school nutrition programs posting under this code are soliciting bananas, fresh mixed produce, berries, citrus fruits, apples, and other staples in volume, but joanna red plums do not appear in any of the seven identified opportunities spanning Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin from February through July 2026. The code appears to be a placeholder or historical entry that does not map to current procurement activity.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with nine separate school nutrition programs visible across Georgia (Douglas County, Glynn County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, Hancock County, Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin, and McAllen and Austin in Texas) plus the State of Georgia procurement office. These entities procure fresh produce through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs—most with response dates between late February and late July 2026—but their actual line items focus on commodity produce (bananas, apples, berries, root vegetables, greens) delivered weekly or monthly to multiple school sites under annual contracts typically valued between $78,000 and $4.4 million. The mismatch between the code title and solicitation content suggests that either the code was misapplied by posting jurisdictions or that joanna red plums are no longer a material school nutrition procurement category in the jurisdictions active during this period.
