UNSPSC 50535706: Dried non GMO early dapple plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO early dapple 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 50535706 Dried non GMO early dapple plucot is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific dried fruit product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span a much broader scope of food procurement — school nutrition programs, institutional food service, senior meal delivery, and general grocery supply. The mix of issuing bodies includes school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport). The actual work being solicited centers on institutional food supply — fresh produce, grocery items, meals for seniors and school children, and consumable kitchen products — rather than the dried fruit product the code's name suggests. This mismatch indicates the code carries limited relevance to vendors specializing in dried stone fruit; the recent opportunities show food service contractors and institutional food suppliers competing for larger meal-service and produce-supply contracts.

Activity appears across multiple states including Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Texas (HHSC El Paso), Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education, State of Georgia), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program with a June 30, 2026 response deadline; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual value of $1.5 million and a July 11, 2026 deadline; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 deadline. Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services, due June 25, 2026, carries an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90. Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients and USDA compliance are standard. The code shows no relevant recent activity specific to dried plucots or similar specialty dried fruit; vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete on broad institutional food supply and meal service rather than the Commodity's nominal scope.
