UNSPSC 50535847: Dried non GMO late rosa plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO late 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 50535847 Dried non-GMO late rosa plums is a Commodity code tracking a single specialty dried fruit product line, but state and local procurement activity under this specific code shows little direct relevance to recent solicitations in the dataset. The recent opportunities tagged or available under food-service procurement codes instead show robust activity across comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, and meal-service contracting by school districts, county boards of education, city procurement offices, and state health agencies. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Bulloch County Board of Education and Douglas County School System in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Mississippi, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi all soliciting multi-item food supply contracts over the past four months. State agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the State of Georgia have also posted food and produce procurement. County and municipal governments—Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases in Connecticut—round out the issuing-body roster, along with special-purpose entities such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for grocery items (posted June 30, 2026, due June 30, 2026) supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services across 1,100+ line items; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) requiring 76-item minimum bids for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of $9,000,000; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million. Procurement activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Connecticut, Virginia, and Texas—with school nutrition programs and Buy American compliance provisions (requiring minimum 51% domestic agricultural content) as consistent themes across solicitations.
