UNSPSC 50535853: Dried non GMO mirabelle plum

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO mirabelle plum 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 50535853 Dried non GMO mirabelle plum (Commodity) does not match the scope of recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code. The most recent opportunities on file span school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, facility food service, and institutional grocery procurement—none of which specifically name dried mirabelle plums or specialty dried fruit as line items. School districts including Hancock County Board of Education and Pascagoula-Gautier School District, the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases for its Board of Education, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners for senior services all post regularly for food procurement, but their posted scopes emphasize fresh produce, staple groceries, prepared meals, and institutional consumables rather than specialty dried fruit varieties.

The code shows no recent relevant activity aligned to dried mirabelle plums specifically. The issuing-body mix includes school districts, county purchasing offices, city procurement bureaus, and state health and human services agencies sourcing food and consumables for education, aging services, and facility operations. Representative solicitations are IFB HHS0017449 (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, food and consumable products, due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce IFB for the 2026–27 school year (sealed bids due June 26, 2026), ITB 26-00289 (Hillsborough County, senior meal preparation and delivery, due June 25, 2026), and City of Bridgeport grocery items RFQ (Solicitation BNB052266, due June 30, 2026). Geographic concentration reflects school districts and county services in Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Connecticut. A vendor pursuing this code should verify whether state and local food procurement offices are actively sourcing dried specialty fruits; the current opportunities block suggests limited or no market activity for this commodity tier.
