UNSPSC 50535857: Dried non GMO pink delight plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO pink delight 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 50535857 Dried non-GMO pink delight plums is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity directly soliciting this specific product. The recent opportunities in the dataset span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food procurement covering hundreds of food items—fresh produce varieties (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus fruits, leafy greens), dairy, grains, proteins, condiments, and prepared meals—but none identify dried plums or this plum variety by name or SKU. The code's nominal product line does not map to the scope of work actually being solicited under related fresh-produce and grocery-supply codes in the recent-opportunities block.

State and local procurement bodies purchasing food items through UNSPSC 50535857 or similar commodity produce codes would typically include school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and municipal food-service operations. The dataset shows heavy activity from Georgia school systems (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County), Connecticut schools (Meriden Public Schools), Texas state agencies (HHSC), and Florida counties (Hillsborough County), with school nutrition programs and state-supported living centers representing the dominant buying pattern. However, the recent solicitations in this dataset do not cite awards, incumbent vendors, or specific line-item activity for dried plums, making it difficult to establish current demand signals or vendor concentration under this commodity code. Business-development professionals evaluating this code should monitor school-nutrition RFPs and state purchasing consolidation vehicles for fresh and processed fruit procurement to identify when dried plums appear as line items within broader grocery bids, but the current evidence suggests limited standalone solicitation activity for this specific product at the state and local level.
