UNSPSC 50535875: Dried non GMO sloe plum

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO sloe plum that has 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 50535875 Dried non-GMO sloe plum is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no solicitations for dried sloe plums or products matching its nominal scope. The opportunities tagged to this code span broad food service contracts—grocery items for school nutrition programs, fresh produce for school lunch service, senior meal preparation and delivery, and food and consumable products for state-supported living facilities—none of which reference sloe plums as a line item or specified ingredient. The code appears to reflect either miscategorization in posting systems or incidental inclusion within larger food commodity buys where dried non-GMO sloe plums may exist as one of hundreds of potential line items across produce, specialty items, or ingredients, but are not called out separately in bid scopes or summaries.

Recent opportunities posted between April and June 2026 show activity from school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida). The Hancock County Schools IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) specifies over 200 line items including multiple apple and berry varieties, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty items such as kiwis and mangos, but does not name dried sloe plums. The City of Bridgeport's grocery items IFB (due June 30, 2026) covers 1,100 line items across breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, and dairy, with no specific mention of dried sloe plums. Until procurement data clarifies whether dried non-GMO sloe plums appear as distinct line items in active solicitations, activity under this code remains inaccessible for targeting purposes.
