UNSPSC 50525872: Non GMO roysum plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO roysum 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 50525872 Non GMO roysum plums is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a single produce item, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show little relevant activity—the posted opportunities span fresh fruits and vegetables broadly (bananas, apples, berries, produce staples, and comprehensive fresh-produce procurement) rather than plums or plum products specifically. The code's abstract scope does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under it. School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies, procuring fresh produce for National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs serving elementary through high school students. The mix includes independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Austin ISD, McAllen ISD), county boards of education (Hancock County, Bartow County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Douglas County), and state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia). Contract values typically range from $78,000 (Madison Metropolitan's single-item banana procurement) to approximately $4.4 million (Douglas County School System's multi-district produce and eggs RFP through the GEC cooperative).

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with solicitations from Hancock, Bartow, Liberty, Muscogee, Glynn, and Douglas County school systems, plus Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual contract value $78,000, weekly deliveries to a central Food Production Center, 150-count case packs with specific ripeness requirements per Chiquita color guide); Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruit and vegetables (due June 22, 2026, sourcing required within 400 miles of the school system, proposals opening July 6, 2026, award anticipated July 20, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026, covering 30 school districts across two Georgia geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). The code shows active procurement volume but as a mismatch to its stated commodity—pursue only if your firm's actual capability aligns with broad fresh-produce distribution for institutional food service rather than plum-specific supply.
