UNSPSC 50525845: Non GMO king james plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO king james 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 50525845 Non GMO king james plums, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its stated scope. The recent opportunities in the dataset—all from school districts and one state agency—solicit fresh produce broadly across apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, and dozens of other items, but none specifically name or request king james plums or plums of any variety. The Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, posted July 8, 2026, and the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (posted June 10, 2026) illustrate the kinds of solicitations running under this code family, yet plums are absent from their specifications.

The issuing bodies pursuing fresh produce statewide are nearly all school districts—Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County in Georgia; Hillsborough County in Florida; McAllen Independent School District in Texas; and Austin Independent School District in Texas—along with the Douglas County School System aggregating 30 districts through a cooperative buying vehicle and the State of Georgia. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in Florida and Wisconsin. Activity dates span February through July 2026, with most bids due between March and July 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations reflects either a data classification error or an artifact of how the state and local procurement system tags commodity codes; pursue only if your firm sources plums specifically and can monitor for district-level RFPs or cooperative buys that eventually name this item.
