UNSPSC 50525869: Non GMO royal diamond plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO royal diamond 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 50525869 Non GMO royal diamond plums is a Commodity code that nominally names a single produce item, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it show little activity directly purchasing royal diamond plums. Instead, the code appears in school district and regional park food-service procurements that cover broad fresh-produce categories — petite bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, apples, berries, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty items — typically as part of larger school nutrition programs or concession-food operations. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education) and one county parks authority (Collier County), all seeking to supply students, park visitors, or concession customers with fresh produce under contract terms spanning the academic or fiscal year. School districts dominate the recent activity and enforce strict food-safety, delivery-timing, and sourcing requirements tied to USDA child-nutrition programs and Buy American provisions where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, annual contract value $78,000, weekly usage 70–90 cases) and its parallel RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026, approximately 5,900 servings weekly, sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin-resident vendors); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce encompassing over 200 line items across multiple fruit and vegetable categories (sealed bids due June 26, 2026, contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027); Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026, contract July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027); Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (proposals due March 6, 2025, three-year contract with two one-year renewals); and Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposals (due August 21, 2026, 2026-2027 contract period). The code shows moderate activity but does not align tightly with the specific "Non GMO royal diamond plums" commodity name — vendors pursuing this code should expect broad fresh-produce RFBs and RFPs rather than targeted single-item purchases.
