UNSPSC 50535828: Dried non GMO emerald beaut plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO emerald beaut 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 50535828 Dried non-GMO emerald beauty plums (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no solicitations or contract awards for dried plums of any variety or sourcing standard. Multiple recent opportunities from school districts, county governments, and state agencies across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and Virginia solicit fresh produce broadly—including fresh apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and specialty items—but none name dried plums or preserved fruit products as line items or scope elements. A single Texas procurement (HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumable products) and a Georgia state procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products) lack sufficient detail in the available summaries to confirm dried-fruit specification, and neither source document is fully posted.

The code's apparent gap in recent state and local solicitation activity suggests either minimal current demand for dried plums as a standalone procurement category or misclassification of opportunities that do include dried fruit within broader fresh-produce or generic grocery codes. Bidders pursuing this commodity should monitor school-district nutrition bids and institutional food-service RFPs closely for inclusion of dried-fruit line items, but the current record does not support active pursuit under this specific UNSPSC code.
