UNSPSC 50535800: Dried non GMO plums

The type of fruit from any of numerous trees and shrubs (genus prunus) with globular to oval smooth-skinned fruits that are drupes with oblong seeds 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 50535800 Dried non-GMO plums, a Class code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity in the recent-opportunities block. The sourced records show no solicitations for dried plums; instead, they span fresh produce procurement, comprehensive grocery supply for school nutrition and senior meal programs, and bulk meal delivery services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities posted under it signals little relevant recent activity for this specific commodity.

State and local procurement under the code shows no recent opportunities. The available records reflect school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System), county and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, State of Georgia), and municipal governments (City of Dallas, City of Meriden) soliciting fresh produce, comprehensive grocery items, eggs, and meal delivery services—categories broader than dried fruit commodities and unrelated to dried plums specifically. Opportunities posted between January and June 2026 include IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce annual contracts, master grocery K-12 supply, school nutrition food service distribution, and senior meal preparation, with response dates ranging from February through July 2026 and contract values ranging from $1.5 million (Texas HHSC) to $17.8 million (Hillsborough County senior meals). The code's classification does not capture the activity actually being procured under it in state and local markets.
