UNSPSC 50535823: Dried non GMO earliqueen plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO earliqueen 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 50535823 Dried non GMO earliqueen plums (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities tagged to this code span school nutrition programs, senior meals, state institutional food service, and general grocery procurement—none of which identify dried plums, whether GMO or non-GMO, as a line item or focus. The City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery bid for the Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services lists over 1,100 line items across breakfast cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat but does not call out dried plums specifically. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's El Paso State Supported Living Center food procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 2026) covers food and consumables under NIGP class numbers but does not itemize specific dried fruit. Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) specifies over 200 line items of fresh produce—apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, melons—but no dried-fruit commodities. Hillsborough County's senior-meals bid (ITB 26-00289, $17.8 million estimated value over three years) focuses on prepared meal service delivery rather than raw or dried commodity ingredients.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either a coding error in the source data or minimal current state and local demand for this specific dried-fruit commodity. School districts, county health and human services agencies, and municipal food programs that appear in these opportunities typically source dried fruits through broader produce or commodity categories when needed. If your firm supplies dried non-GMO earliqueen plums to institutional food service, monitor the grocery and school-nutrition codes that appear across state education departments and large districts, but do not expect to see demand signals under this code in the near term.
