UNSPSC 50535866: Dried non GMO red rosa plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO red 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 50535866 Dried non-GMO red rosa plums (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity in the provided recent opportunities. The code nominally identifies a single dried fruit product, yet the sourcing records show no solicitations for dried plums or equivalent specialty dried fruit items. Instead, state and local governments issuing under adjacent or broader food codes are procuring comprehensive fresh and frozen produce portfolios, prepared meals, and grocery staples in which dried fruit—if present at all—appears as an incidental line item within much larger commodity bundles.

Recent opportunities span school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and municipal governments across Connecticut, Georgia, Texas, Florida, Mississippi, and Virginia, with the most active solicitations targeting fresh produce contracts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia), comprehensive grocery supply for school nutrition programs (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut), and meal-preparation services (Hillsborough County in Florida, City of Dallas in Texas). No recent opportunity names dried plums, dried fruit concentrates, or specialty dried-produce sourcing. The lack of activity under this Commodity code signals either minimal state and local demand for the specific product or systematic misclassification of procurements under parent or adjacent codes. Vendors pursuing work in the food-supply space should monitor broader Family and Class codes encompassing fresh produce, processed fruits, and grocery staples rather than specialize in this narrow Commodity line.
