UNSPSC 50535705: Dried non GMO dapple fire plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO dapple fire 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 50535705 Dried non-GMO dapple fire plucot is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific dried fruit product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity directly aligned with that narrow scope. School districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and municipal procurement offices are posting bids for broad grocery and food-service procurement — fresh produce, packaged meal boxes, food and consumable products for institutional dining, and senior meal preparation and delivery — under codes that do not cleanly map to a single specialty dried-fruit line item. The actual buying activity under this code encompasses institutional food procurement across the National School Lunch Program, state-supported living centers, senior nutrition programs, and school nutrition summer food service — work that spans fresh produce, shelf-stable items, packaged goods, and catering services rather than dried specialty fruits specifically.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and jurisdictions. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases posted an RFP on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 grocery line items to support the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, with June 2026 response deadlines and Buy American requirements of at least 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 13, 2026, response date and a prior-period value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce on June 10, 2026, with a June 26 response date and 200-plus line items spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, and vegetables. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted an ITB on June 3, 2026, for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17,832,659.90 over three years, with a June 25 response deadline. The State of Georgia and Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi posted broader food and supplies solicitations in May and April 2026 respectively. The code shows fragmented activity across school districts, county governments, state agencies, and municipal purchasing offices, with no standout repeat buyer and no recent opportunities for dried specialty fruit items specifically.
