UNSPSC 50535824: Dried non GMO early rosa plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO early rosa 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 50535824 Dried non-GMO early Rosa plums (Commodity) does not generate meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code saw no direct solicitations in the recent opportunities block—all fourteen posted opportunities under food-related codes involve fresh produce, groceries, meal preparation and delivery, or USDA commodity distribution for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service, but none explicitly specify dried plums or dried fruit categories by commodity type. The code's narrow specification—early Rosa plums, non-GMO, dried form—sits outside the scope of current state and local buying patterns captured in the recent dataset.

State and local procurement activity under food codes generally flows through school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Meriden Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), city procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, City of Dallas, City of Meriden), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), but these buyers are sourcing fresh produce, bulk groceries, and meal service rather than specialty dried fruit items. Dried plum procurement, if it occurs, likely appears as a line item within broader fresh produce or grocery solicitations rather than as a standalone commodity code. The absence of activity under this specific code suggests either that dried plums represent a negligible portion of state and local food service spending, or that such purchases are aggregated under higher-tier produce or grocery family codes rather than itemized at the commodity level.
