UNSPSC 50535701: Dried non GMO black kat plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO black kat plucot that has been dried for preservation. 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 50535701 Dried non-GMO black kat plucot, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The sourced opportunities span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts—none of which specifically solicit dried black kat plucots or products matching that narrow commodity description. The disconnect suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or that this code sees activity too sparse or misclassified to reflect meaningful market demand for the named product.

State and local food service procurement under similar produce and commodity codes remains active across school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and senior services authorities. Recent school nutrition solicitations from Bridgeport, Connecticut; Hancock County, Georgia; Bulloch County, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia; Douglas County, Georgia; Fairfax County, Virginia; and Meriden, Connecticut reflect sustained demand for fresh produce, grocery items, and food products with annual contract values ranging from approximately $1.5 million to $9 million. Hillsborough County, Florida's senior meal preparation contract carries an estimated value of $17.8 million over three years. These jurisdictions consistently require Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, firm fixed pricing for 12-month periods, and delivery to multiple school sites or service locations. However, the evidence does not support that UNSPSC 50535701 is actively used or relevant to these procurements.
