UNSPSC 50535872: Dried non GMO roysum plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO roysum 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 50535872 Dried non-GMO roysum plums, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal product—a specific dried plum variety with non-GMO specification—has not surfaced in documented opportunities from school districts, county purchasing offices, state nutrition programs, or municipal food service buyers over the past six months.

The most recent opportunities tagged to the 50535000 family and adjacent food product codes reveal that state and local nutrition procurement focuses on fresh produce (apples, berries, carrots, peppers, leafy greens), eggs, bulk grocery staples (grains, dairy, condiments, proteins), and meal delivery services. School districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) have posted IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce, commercial groceries, and food supply distribution in the past six months, with response deadlines ranging from late April through July 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases on behalf of its Board of Education, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) have similarly solicited food products and meal services. The geographic spread covers Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. No procurement notices identify dried, non-GMO, or roysum-specific plum products as line items or requirement categories. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the commodity mix in recent opportunities suggests minimal or no active market for this product class in state and local government food service procurement at present.
