UNSPSC 50525853: Non GMO mirabelle plum

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO mirabelle plum. 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 50525853 Non GMO mirabelle plum is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this designation. The recent opportunities posted against this code are overwhelmingly school nutrition procurements for fresh produce staples—bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, citrus, and eggs—across elementary, middle, and high school sites, along with USDA-funded fresh fruit and vegetable programs serving K–5 students. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with single procurement offices frequently managing cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across 12 to 30 districts; representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026; RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce, due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System (RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruit and vegetables, due June 22, 2026), and the Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million, due March 4, 2026).

Georgia school districts account for the majority of posted activity, with secondary concentrations in Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Tampa), Texas (McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District). The State of Georgia also posted a general food supplies procurement (May 15, 2026). All recent opportunities emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, traceability documentation, minimum insurance requirements ($500,000 to $2 million general liability), weekly delivery to multiple school sites between early morning and early afternoon, competitive pricing indexed to USDA market reports or net cost-plus-fixed-fee models, and payment on Net 30 to Net 40 terms. Mirabelle plums do not appear in any of the recent solicitations; the code assignment appears to be a tagging error rather than an accurate reflection of purchasing activity.
