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 show recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific product scope. The most recent opportunities in the source are tagged to this code but actually solicit broad grocery items, fresh produce, and meal preparation services rather than dried greengage plums specifically. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posted an IFB on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat products under the National School Lunch Program with Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce across multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, and leafy greens for the 2026–27 school year; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products for state-supported living centers with a historical annual value of $1.5 million. The State of Georgia also posted a solicitation on May 15, 2026, for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with details in an attached document.

The code appears to be mismatched to actual procurement activity. School districts, county education departments, state health and human services agencies, and municipal purchasing offices are the issuing bodies showing activity in the broader food and meal categories, but none of the identified solicitations specify dried greengage plums or similar specialty dried-fruit items as line items. Geographic spread includes Connecticut, Georgia, Texas, and Florida based on the recent opportunities listed, but no solicitation details dried stone fruits specifically. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the actual solicitations suggests this code either sees minimal targeted procurement or that state and local systems are applying it to general food categories where it does not fit precisely.
