UNSPSC 50535704: Dried non GMO dapple dandy plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO dapple dandy 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 50535704 Dried non-GMO dapple dandy plucot is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span broad food service and nutrition procurement — school lunch programs, senior meal delivery, state-supported living center food supply, and summer food service — but none of the posted solicitations specifically target dried stone fruit, dapple dandy plucots, or any comparable specialty produce item. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited over 1,100 line items of grocery goods including breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meat products for the Board of Education's National School Lunch Program. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under a prior-year historical value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce spanning apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, and specialty items such as kiwis, mangos, and papayas — but no dried stone fruit. Hillsborough County, Florida solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years. The Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi solicited packaged meal boxes for the Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county nutrition programs, with one state health agency and one county commissioners board. Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal commodity scope; the posted opportunities reflect mislabeling or administrative classification that does not correspond to dried plucot procurement. No recent opportunities specifically solicit dried non-GMO dapple dandy plucots or dried stone fruit of any variety under this code.
