UNSPSC 50535802: Dried non GMO angeleno plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO angeleno plums that have 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 50535802 Dried non-GMO Angeleno plums is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single dried-fruit product line, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show minimal or no direct procurement activity for dried Angeleno plums specifically. The code appears in the source dataset alongside a broad range of recent school nutrition, senior meal, and food service solicitations spanning groceries, fresh produce, eggs, boxed meals, and food distribution — none of which explicitly reference dried Angeleno plums as a line item or category. The mismatch between the code's specific commodity scope and the actual procurement notices suggests either mis-coding by issuing bodies or a data artifact; state and local governments acquiring dried plums do so through broader produce or commodity codes rather than this narrowly defined commodity designation.

Recent activity under and near this code shows substantial school nutrition procurement across multiple states and issuing bodies including county school districts (Hancock County, Georgia; Douglas County, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia; Bulloch County, Georgia; Fairfax County, Virginia; Meriden, Connecticut; Pascagoula-Gautier, Mississippi), city school systems (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia) from January through June 2026. These solicitations focus on fresh produce, eggs, comprehensive food supply and distribution, and boxed meal services, with contract values ranging from approximately $1.5 million (Texas HHS facility food and consumables, RFQ due July 13, 2026) to $9 million (Douglas County food supply and distribution, RFP due February 18, 2026) and $17.8 million over three years (Hillsborough County senior meal preparation and delivery, ITB due June 25, 2026). Issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts and school nutrition authorities, supplemented by county commissioners, state procurement offices, and specialized food service facilities. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, Virginia, and Texas. If your firm supplies dried fruit products to school nutrition or food service operations, the code's recent activity offers limited direct targeting — pursue instead the broader fresh and processed produce families (50534000–50539000 range) where these solicitations are more likely tagged, or align with school nutrition and institutional food service RFPs and IFBs that specify produce line items explicitly.
