UNSPSC 50525864: Non GMO red lane plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO red lane 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 50525864 Non GMO red lane plums, a Commodity code, describes fresh produce items that state and local governments procure for food service operations, school nutrition programs, and institutional foodservice. The code's nominal scope does not align closely with the recent activity in the database—the recent opportunities show schools, counties, and health coalitions buying fresh produce in volume for cafeterias and food-service operations, but no specific opportunities targeting red lane plums or other single-variety stone fruits. Recent solicitations instead cover broad fresh-produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, specialty fruits) as part of comprehensive food-service contracts, suggesting that single-fruit commodity codes may see limited dedicated procurement activity and are more commonly subsumed into multi-item food-service RFBs.

Issuing bodies under this code include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county parks and recreation agencies (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), county boards of education, health-care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state agriculture or food-service procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts account for the largest recent volume of produce solicitations. Recent opportunities reflect geographic activity in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Bartow County), Wisconsin (Madison), Florida (Collier County), and statewide at the State of Georgia level. Representative recent procurements include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, requiring 5,900 servings weekly with Wisconsin sourcing within 400 miles; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce due June 26, 2026, spanning the full school year July 2026 through June 2027; and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables due June 22, 2026, requiring sourcing within 400 miles of the school district and contract award anticipated for July 20, 2026.
