UNSPSC 50525852: Non GMO marked red plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO marked 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 50525852 Non GMO marked red plums is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure this produce line item as a discrete solicitation; when it appears in procurement activity, it surfaces within broader fresh fruit and vegetable contracts serving school nutrition programs, regional parks, healthcare facilities, and county food services. The recent opportunities block shows no dedicated RFQ or IFB specifically for non-GMO red plums. Instead, plums (if called for at all) are listed as one line item within multi-hundred-line produce bids that bundle apples, berries, stone fruits, citrus, vegetables, and specialty items under unified vendor relationships. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, particularly in Georgia and Wisconsin, followed by county parks departments, county health care coalitions, and state nutrition offices.

The geographic spread of recent activity clusters in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Early County Board of Education) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with secondary activity in Florida (Collier County) and a statewide Georgia procurement by the State itself. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items of produce to three school locations with firm pricing for the full contract year, and Madison Metropolitan School District's Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks RFB (4163, due July 29, 2026) requiring locally sourced, ready-to-eat produce within 400 miles of Madison with weekly delivery to elementary programs. When red plums are solicited, they typically compete within commodity pricing on a per-unit or per-pound basis against other stone fruits and are bundled into annual school-year or fiscal-period contracts (July–June or September–June) with fixed or CPI-indexed escalation clauses, Buy American provisions, HACCP documentation, and delivery to centralized school warehouses or park facilities. The code shows minimal standalone procurement velocity; success requires vendor participation in broader multi-item produce frameworks rather than single-commodity bids.
