UNSPSC 50525849: Non GMO lone star red plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO lone star 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 50525849 Non GMO lone star red plums is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The sources identify only one solicitation directly purchasing petite bananas (Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and multiple school district procurements for broad fresh-produce categories that include plums only incidentally, if at all, within larger mixed-fruit or mixed-produce line items. The code itself specifies non-GMO lone star red plums, yet the actual buying activity captured under this code encompasses fresh bananas, mixed berries, apples, citrus, stone fruits, leafy greens, root vegetables, and prepared produce items—spanning institutional food service for K–12 school nutrition programs across multiple states rather than a single produce commodity.

State and local buyers in this dataset are exclusively school districts and boards of education serving National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, with recent solicitations from Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and Florida. The code shows no recent targeted activity for non-GMO lone star red plums as a distinct line item; instead, buyers are procuring comprehensive annual produce contracts through RFBs, IFBs, and RFPs with response dates ranging from late March through late July 2026, typically offering awards on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible or lowest-qualified-pricing basis with contract terms running July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
