UNSPSC 50535859: Dried non GMO primetime plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO primetime 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 50535859 Dried non-GMO primetime plums (Commodity) does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The most recent opportunities show no solicitations for dried plums; instead, the code appears to have been applied to broad grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, and meal service contracts that span multiple produce categories and food products unrelated to dried plums specifically.

The source contains no evidence of state and local buyers actively procuring dried non-GMO primetime plums as a distinct line item or contract scope. The tagged opportunities include fresh produce bids (apples, berries, leafy greens, citrus, root vegetables), comprehensive grocery contracts spanning breakfast items, condiments, frozen products, and snacks, school nutrition meal delivery, and senior meal preparation services. None of these solicitations identify dried plums or dried fruit as a primary or ancillary requirement. The code designation appears to be a cataloging artifact rather than an accurate reflection of current buying patterns under this commodity line.
