UNSPSC 50525851: Non GMO marked black plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO marked black 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 50525851 Non GMO marked black plums is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity. The single opportunity in the source — Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana RFB (Solicitation 4162, due July 29, 2026) — addresses bananas, not plums. A second Madison opportunity (RFB 4163) solicits fresh fruit and vegetable snacks more broadly, also without specific reference to black plums. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual procurements being tagged under it in this dataset.

State and local school nutrition programs represent the primary issuing body type across the broader fresh-produce family, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin. Multiple school districts — including Hancock County Board of Education (IFB due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System (RFP due June 22, 2026), Bulloch County School District (IFP due May 4, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (IFB due April 29, 2026), Glynn County Board of Education (IFB due April 14, 2026), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid due April 23, 2026) — are actively procuring fresh produce in volumes spanning dozens of line items and millions of dollars annually. These opportunities reflect institutional food-service demand for apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, and eggs delivered weekly to multiple school sites. No evidence supports active state or local demand for black plums specifically at this time.
