UNSPSC 50525863: Non GMO red beaut plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO red beaut 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 50525863 Non GMO red beaut plums, a Commodity code, covers fresh-fruit procurement by state and local government agencies. While the code's name specifies a single variety, the recent solicitation activity shows that school districts, county parks departments, and healthcare coalitions are actually buying broad fresh-produce categories—petite bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, apples, berries, melons, and citrus—alongside commodity-specific buys. The issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), a county healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and the State of Georgia. School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts issuing IFBs and RFBs for produce contracts tied to the National School Lunch Program and USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program grant funding.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple varieties due June 26, 2026, and Bartow County School System (Georgia) posted an RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles due June 22, 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) solicited petite bananas under RFB 4162 due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual contract value of $78,000, and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under RFB 4163 due the same date, requiring Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line food bids including produce due June 8, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, requiring concession vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options. School districts emphasize local sourcing, seasonal variety, traceability, food-safety compliance (HACCP plans), and organic options where cost-competitive; geographic preferences and diverse-business certifications are common evaluation criteria.
