UNSPSC 50535876: Dried non GMO st catherine plum

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO st catherine 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 50535876 Dried non-GMO St. Catherine plum is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent engagement — the opportunities tagged to this UNSPSC do not reflect dried plum purchases. The City of Bridgeport, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, Hillsborough County, State of Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, City of Dallas, and Douglas County School System all solicited through recent state and local notices, but under broader grocery, fresh produce, and meal service categories rather than specialized dried-fruit line items. The tagged opportunities span multi-thousand-line-item food service contracts — including fresh apples, broccoli, carrots, eggs, proteins, grains, beverages, and condiments — where dried plums, if procured at all, would be a minor component absorbed into larger commodity groups or purchased under separate specialty food codes.

Geographic activity across recent opportunities clusters in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, State of Georgia), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport, Meriden Public Schools), Florida (Hillsborough County), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, City of Dallas), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), but none of these solicitations explicitly target dried stone fruits or specialty dried produce. School districts dominate the recent posting volume, followed by state agencies and county systems, driven by Child Nutrition Program purchasing and school year calendar cycles with responses due primarily between late April and mid-July 2026. Buyers actively seeking specialized dried fruit products should monitor niche commodity codes or cross-category food service RFPs rather than rely on this code's recent signal.
