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 is a Commodity code that nominally designates a single produce line item, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span a far broader scope of fresh fruit and vegetable procurement — school districts, county parks, health-care coalitions, and state agencies are soliciting everything from petite bananas and fresh-cut vegetable snacks to comprehensive produce programs spanning 200+ line items and seasonal availability plans. What state and local governments actually buy under this code appears to be fresh produce supply contracts for food service operations, including institutional cafeterias, parks concessions, and health-care facilities. The issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county parks departments (Collier County), state-level procurement (Georgia), and health-care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts represent the plurality of recent activity and appear to be repeat buyers, with multiple jurisdictions posting bids for school-year produce supplies and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program items.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Wisconsin. Madison Metropolitan School District posted two separate RFBs in July 2026 — one for petite bananas at an estimated annual value of $78,000 (bids due July 29, 2026) and another for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and within Wisconsin, procuring approximately 5,900 servings weekly (bids due July 29, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026; Bartow County School System in Georgia solicited local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles with a proposal deadline of June 22, 2026 and contract award anticipated for July 20, 2026. Early County Board of Education in Georgia requested line-by-line food bids including 300+ food items with bids due June 8, 2026. Collier County Parks and Recreation issued an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 for concession food services at North Collier Regional Park (proposals due March 6, 2025, though this date appears mismatched with the posting date). Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals with bids due August 21, 2026. Geographic sourcing requirements are common — Wisconsin and Georgia school districts mandate local or regional sourcing within specified radii, and evaluation criteria routinely weight cost, traceability, vendor experience, and compliance with food safety standards including HACCP plans and E-Verify authorization.
