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 representing a single specialized produce item, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of dried plucots or any dried fruit products. Instead, the opportunities show fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, and meal service contracting across school districts, county education systems, state agencies, and municipal governments. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data classification error or that dried plucot procurement is not a material activity in state and local government purchasing. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi)—alongside Texas Health and Human Services Commission for its El Paso State Supported Living Center, the City of Bridgeport purchasing on behalf of its Board of Education, the City of Dallas, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida). Work spans fresh produce supply (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, leafy greens), master grocery contracts with 1,100+ line items including breakfast items, frozen products, dairy, and meats, meal preparation and delivery for seniors, and packaged meal service for official city events.
