UNSPSC 50525846: Non GMO laroda plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO laroda 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 50525846 Non GMO laroda plums is a Commodity code that frames fresh fruit supply to state and local food-service operations — school districts, parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and county government venues. State and local jurisdictions procure specific fresh produce items under this code as part of broader food-service and nutrition programs. Recent opportunities show school districts, county parks authorities, and healthcare entities sourcing produce through RFBs, RFPs, and ITNs with explicit attention to ripeness specifications, delivery windows, freshness guarantees, food-safety compliance, and traceability documentation. The issuing bodies span independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), special-purpose health coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state agricultural procurement (State of Georgia). Food vendors supplying under this code must meet HACCP plan requirements, carry commercial general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1 million, comply with Buy American provisions where applicable, demonstrate E-Verify enrollment, and often provide insurance certificates and product-recall procedures.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, September 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, $78,000 estimated annual value, bids due July 29, 2026) specifying 150-count case packs at defined ripeness stages and delivery between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. Monday through Friday; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple varieties (bids due June 26, 2026, July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term); Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026, award anticipated July 20, 2026); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park including concession operations (proposals due March 6, 2025, three-year term with two one-year renewals). School nutrition programs predominate among recent solicitors, often tying awards to federal grant notification and incorporating diverse-owned business preferences. Geographic preference mandates appear in Wisconsin (Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program) and Georgia (Bartow County 400-mile sourcing requirement), and Buy American provisions apply where federal meal programs fund procurement.
