UNSPSC 50525847: Non GMO late rosa plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO late rosa 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 50525847 Non GMO late rosa plums (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single opportunity in the recent-opportunities block tags a Madison Metropolitan School District bid for petite bananas under code 50525847, which plainly does not match the plums category. School districts and other institutions soliciting under the UNSPSC family that includes this code are buying fresh produce—bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, melons, and specialty items—for child nutrition programs, but the recent activity does not surface demand for late rosa plums specifically or non-GMO varietal designations as a material procurement driver.

The district-level solicitations across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin emphasize produce delivery to multiple school sites, USDA compliance (Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, food safety), cost-plus pricing models tied to commodity market indices, and weekly or twice-weekly delivery windows between early morning (5:00 to 7:30 a.m.) and mid-afternoon (2:00 to 3:30 p.m.). Institutions prioritize fill-rate guarantees (typically 98 percent or higher), liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million general coverage depending on district), fresh shelf life (minimum five to seven days), and traceability documentation. Recent opportunities from Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System, Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System (serving a cooperative of 30 districts across Georgia) reflect sustained procurement across multiple jurisdictions and regions. None of the sourced opportunities identify petite bananas or any fruit variety as non-GMO or explicitly tie procurement to non-GMO certification. The code shows little recent activity for late rosa plums or non-GMO fruit procurement in state and local channels as currently structured.
