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 is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity present in the dataset. The recent solicitations tagged under this code—spanning school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, fresh produce supply, and grocery distribution across multiple jurisdictions—focus on fresh produce, frozen products, dairy, proteins, grains, snacks, beverages, and prepared meals. Dried mirabelle plums, a specialized processed fruit item, do not appear as a line item or requirement in any of the representative opportunities. The code's nominal scope is narrow and specialized, whereas the tagged opportunities reflect broad, high-volume food service procurement covering dozens or hundreds of commodity lines. This suggests a cataloging mismatch rather than genuine procurement activity under the Commodity code itself.

State and local governments soliciting through this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, Douglas County School System in Georgia), municipal agencies (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, City of Dallas), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia). School districts and county school food authorities dominate the recent activity. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, State of Georgia) and Florida (Hillsborough County), with activity also in Connecticut, Mississippi, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026, estimated value $17.8 million over three years), and Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods procurement (RFP 026-41, due February 25, 2026, anticipated contract value $3.1 million for 2026–2027).
