UNSPSC 50525860: Non GMO purple majesty plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO purple majesty 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 50525860 Non GMO purple majesty plums is a Commodity code covering specialty fresh fruit procurement by state and local public bodies. The recent opportunities block shows minimal direct activity under this specific code; instead, state and local governments are soliciting fresh produce broadly — including bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, apples, berries, root vegetables, melons, and citrus — through school nutrition programs, county parks concessions, health care coalitions, and boards of education. The work being bought is delivery of fresh produce meeting ripeness and quality standards, traceability documentation, food-safety compliance including HACCP plans, and compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable. Vendors typically must carry general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000 depending on the buyer), submit E-Verify verification, provide product recalls procedures, and meet delivery windows often constrained to early morning hours at school or institutional sites. Local-sourcing preferences and organic-produce discounts appear frequently in school and regional purchasing, and some jurisdictions apply diverse-owned business status scoring or preferences.

School districts dominate recent activity under this code family, including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia), alongside county-level parks departments (Collier County, Florida), health care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and one state-level food procurement (State of Georgia). Recent opportunities span Wisconsin, Georgia, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026, with Buy American provisions); Bartow County School System RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners ITN 258360 for food services at North Collier Regional Park including concession facilities (due March 6, 2025). Contract terms typically run one school or fiscal year (July through June) with renewal or extension options, and pricing frequently includes fuel and transportation to multiple delivery sites with no separate fuel surcharges permitted.
