UNSPSC 50535856: Dried non GMO perdrigon plum

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO perdrigon 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 50535856 Dried non-GMO Perdrigon plum, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally names a single produce item — dried Perdrigon plums without genetic modification — yet the recent-opportunities block documents no solicitations or awards matching this specification. School districts and other state or local buyers soliciting dried fruit, preserved produce, or specialty food items in the past six months have posted opportunities under broader grocery, food supply, and fresh produce categories, but none explicitly name dried perdrigon plums or reference this code.

The recent activity in food procurement spans fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, and meal services across school districts (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Hancock County, Georgia; Bulloch County, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham, Georgia; Fairfax County, Virginia; Meriden, Connecticut; Douglas County, Georgia), state health and human services facilities (Texas HHSC El Paso), county meal programs (Hillsborough County, Florida), and municipal event catering (Dallas, Texas). Opportunities emphasize fresh items — apples, berries, leafy greens, carrots, potatoes — and comprehensive packaged meals rather than specialty dried fruits. Vendors pursuing this code should confirm direct customer demand before investing in pursuit infrastructure; the absence of recent solicitations signals either no active market demand under this specific commodity designation or classification mismatch between buyer intent and UNSPSC tagging.
