UNSPSC 50535877: Dried non GMO white bullace plum

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO white bullace 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 50535877 Dried non GMO white bullace plum is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities dataset contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried non-GMO white bullace plums or any dried bullace plum products. The single opportunity tagged under this code—Bridgeport's grocery bid (BNB052266)—spans over 1,100 line items across breakfast cereals, frozen products, fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meats for school nutrition, with no mention of dried bullace plums or specialty dried fruits in the publicly available scope summary. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement use suggests the code either does not reflect genuine state and local demand for this specific commodity or was applied incorrectly to a broader grocery solicitation.

State and local procurement under dried fruit categories remains concentrated in school districts and institutional food service operations buying through master grocery and produce contracts, primarily in the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, Virginia). These jurisdictions—including Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System—procure fresh and processed produce through RFPs and IFBs with response dates between January and July 2026, but their sourcing focuses on commodity vegetables, fresh fruits, eggs, and mainstream processed items rather than specialty dried fruits. No recent state or local solicitation explicitly names bullace plums, dried or fresh. Pursuing this code requires identifying niche institutional buyers with specialized dietary or cultural food programs; absent direct evidence of demand in the recent opportunity stream, the code presents limited immediate opportunity for business development.
