UNSPSC 50525861: Non GMO queen rosa plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO queen rosa 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 50525861 Non GMO queen rosa plums is a Commodity code that nominally describes specialty plum varieties, but the recent state and local solicitations under this code show little relevant activity. The single recent opportunity record tagged to this code—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026)—involves banana procurement, not plums. The school district specifies single petite banana units in 150-count case packs, 5" to 5.5" in length, delivered Monday through Friday between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. to the Food Production Center in Madison, Wisconsin, with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 for the September 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 term. Evaluation weights cost at 40%, organization's ability to meet service and support requirements at 20%, qualifications and experience at 15%, diverse-owned business firm documentation at 5%, past experience with MMSD at 10%, and references at 10%. The code appears to carry a data-classification mismatch rather than genuine procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope.

School districts dominate the recent opportunities posted under this code, with Madison Metropolitan School District and other Wisconsin, Georgia, and Texas jurisdictions soliciting fresh produce, eggs, and food service items across multiple categories. Beyond the plum-code record, the broader fresh-produce procurement landscape in recent state and local activity spans Georgia extensively—including Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, and Douglas County school systems—alongside Texas independents (McAllen, Austin) and Florida's Hillsborough County Public Schools. Opportunities posted from February through July 2026 focus on school-nutrition procurement, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program support, and year-round institutional food service supply. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with a secondary presence in Texas and Florida. If pursuing this code, clarify with the procuring jurisdiction whether plum procurement is actually intended or whether a broader fresh-produce family code better represents the work.
