UNSPSC 50535836: Dried non GMO greengage plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO greengage 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 50535836 Dried non-GMO greengage plums (Commodity) does not reflect the current state and local procurement activity in the source records. Recent opportunities tagged with this code span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts across multiple states—none of which specifically solicit dried greengage plums or other specialty dried fruits. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the source data or that this narrow commodity code is being used as a catch-all tag for broader fresh and processed produce procurement at the jurisdiction level, which is common practice in state and local e-procurement systems when more granular commodity codes are unavailable or when buyers tag solicitations at higher taxonomy levels for visibility.

The recent opportunities in the dataset reflect substantial institutional food service demand across Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia school districts, county boards of education, and aging services agencies. Representative procurements include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items RFQ (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, spanning 1,100+ line items with Buy American compliance requirements); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumables IFB for El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million); the Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce IFB (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, covering 200+ line items across multiple apple, berry, and vegetable varieties); and the Hillsborough County meal preparation and delivery ITB (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026, valued at $17.8 million over three years). School districts dominate the activity, with significant demand also from state health and human services agencies and county senior nutrition programs. Most contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with firm fixed pricing and Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51% domestic agricultural content. Delivery windows are typically Monday–Friday business hours to multiple school sites or institutional facilities, with Net 30–45 payment terms and comprehensive insurance, HACCP, and food safety compliance requirements standard across jurisdictions.
