UNSPSC 50535830: Dried non GMO freedom plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO freedom 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 50535830 Dried non-GMO freedom plums (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity the source documents. The recent opportunities tagged with or associated with this code overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, and meal preparation services for school districts, counties, and state agencies—none of which prominently feature dried specialty fruit products. The sourced opportunities span fresh produce procurement (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), grocery staples (cereals, proteins, condiments), and meal delivery contracts. While dried fruit may appear as an incidental line item within larger grocery or produce bids, no recent solicitation identified in the source is organized around or specifically calls for dried non-GMO freedom plums, and the code assignment appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than a reflection of active procurement under this Commodity code.

State and local procurement activity at the Family level (fresh and processed produce, groceries, and meal services) is robust and sustained across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies—school districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), and Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi); county governments including Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) and Douglas County School System (Georgia); state agencies including Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the State of Georgia; and municipalities including the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) and City of Dallas (Texas). These bodies regularly issue IFBs and RFPs for food products on one- to five-year terms with contract values ranging from approximately $1.5 million to $17.8 million. If pursuing this narrow Commodity code, verify actual demand signals outside the provided dataset, as the current source does not support business development activity specific to dried non-GMO freedom plums in state and local procurement.
