UNSPSC 50535806: Dried non GMO autumn pride plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO autumn pride 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 50535806 Dried non GMO autumn pride plums (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The City of Bridgeport, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District have all posted opportunities for grocery items, fresh produce, food and consumable products, and meal preparation and delivery services under various notice types (RFP, RFQ, IFB, ITB) in the past four months, but none of the summaries or detailed scopes mention dried plums or specialty dried fruits as line items within their solicitations. The Bridgeport and Hancock County opportunities list specific produce varieties and food categories, the Texas HHSC posting references NIGP class numbers for broad food and consumable products, and Hillsborough County's meal service contract emphasizes prepared meals for seniors—none of which target the narrow commodity of dried autumn pride plums.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. State and local agencies are procuring fresh and processed produce, meal services, and grocery items broadly, but the specific commodity described by UNSPSC 50535806 does not appear in the representative solicitations. A business development professional evaluating this code should either confirm that the tagging is a classification error on the state or local side, or assess whether dried specialty plums represent a negligible line item within larger food service or grocery contracts—likely too small to pursue as a standalone opportunity in the near term.
