UNSPSC 50535717: Dried non GMO flavorich plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO flavorich 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 50535717 Dried non-GMO flavorich plucot, a Commodity code, does not map to the actual procurement activity present in the state and local opportunities listed. The recent solicitations tagged under this code encompass comprehensive food service procurement across fresh produce, groceries, prepared meals, and ancillary food items for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply — none of which align with dried plucot products. The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Meriden, Douglas County, Pascagoula-Gautier, and Fairfax County), state agencies (Georgia, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county governments (Hillsborough County), and cities (Dallas). The geographic footprint spans Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia, with the heaviest recent activity in Georgia school districts.

Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering grocery product supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens across the district; Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods procurement (RFP 026-41, proposals due February 25, 2026, anticipated contract value $3.1 million for the 2026-2027 school year); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB 26-00289, bids due June 25, 2026, estimated three-year value $17.8 million); and the Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution services (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026, estimated annual expenditure $9 million for 32 schools serving 25,500 students). These opportunities reflect the code's active use in school district food service contracting, though the code's nominal commodity classification does not match the broad-spectrum grocery and meal-service procurement actually occurring under it.
