UNSPSC 50535861: Dried non GMO queen rosa plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO queen rosa 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 50535861 Dried non GMO queen rosa plums is a Commodity code that designates a single dried-fruit product line, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show minimal direct procurement of dried plums themselves. Instead, the code appears in broader food-service and school-nutrition solicitations where dried fruits are incidental line items within large commodity baskets spanning breakfast items, cereals, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, and proteins. The actual work state and local governments buy under this code sits within larger grocery and fresh-produce frameworks for school meal programs, senior nutrition services, and institutional food operations. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and county health authorities. School districts are repeat buyers, appearing in multiple recent solicitations focused on Child Nutrition Program compliance and Buy American Provision requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content).

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic. The most recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases posting IFB BNB052266 for grocery items spanning 1,100 line items due June 30, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with responses due July 13, 2026 (historical monthly value approximately $125,000); Hancock County Board of Education posting IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce with 200-plus line items and bids due June 26, 2026; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posting ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services under a three-year estimated value of $17.8 million.
