UNSPSC 50525862: Non GMO quetsch plum

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO quetsch 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 50525862 Non GMO quetsch plum is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single opportunity in the recent block—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas—is unrelated to quetsch plums or the code's stated product category; the District is instead soliciting yellow bananas in 150-count cases at specific ripeness stages for delivery to its Food Production Center. The remaining opportunities tagged under this code number in the source all address fresh produce procurement more broadly (berries, apples, mixed vegetables, eggs, and comprehensive school nutrition program supplies across Georgia, Texas, and other states) rather than non-GMO stone fruits. The code does not appear to reflect active state and local procurement for quetsch plums specifically.

No recent state and local opportunities were identified for non-GMO quetsch plums as a distinct product line. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations in the source—which span general fresh produce for school nutrition programs rather than specialty plum varieties—suggests either miscoding on the part of issuing agencies or minimal market activity under this narrow Commodity classification. Interested vendors should verify whether state and local food service programs are actively procuring this item category through alternative code assignments or direct vendor relationships rather than formal RFP/RFB processes.
