UNSPSC 50525856: Non GMO perdrigon plum

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO perdrigon 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 50525856 Non GMO Perdrigon Plum is a Commodity code that names a specific fresh-fruit item, yet recent state and local procurement activity shows little solicitation specifically for this product. The code's nominal scope — perdrigon plums with non-GMO certification — does not align with the breadth of recent opportunities posted under or around it. School districts, county parks, health-care coalitions, and state procurement offices are actively buying fresh produce, but the posted opportunities emphasize bananas, mixed fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, broad produce line items (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens), and general food-service supplies rather than perdrigon plums as a named line item. When perdrigon plums do appear in school-nutrition or produce-service bids, they are typically part of broader commodity categories rather than standalone solicitations.

The issuing-body mix includes school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), special-purpose health-care entities (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state government (State of Georgia). Recent opportunities span Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and statewide procurement), Wisconsin (Madison), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated $78,000 annual value), Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026). Vendors pursuing this code should recognize that perdrigon plums, if procured at all, move as part of broader fresh-produce categories rather than as standalone specialty items, and that recent activity concentrates heavily on school-nutrition contracts with Buy American provisions, local-sourcing preferences, and HACCP compliance requirements.
