UNSPSC 50545702: Frozen non GMO blue gusto plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO blue gusto plucot that has been frozen 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 50545702 Frozen non-GMO blue gusto plucot is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific frozen fruit variety, but recent state and local opportunities show little procurement activity actually aligned with this precise product. The code appears in school district nutrition solicitations that encompass broad frozen and fresh produce categories — frozen foods, fresh produce, groceries, and proteins — but none of the recent opportunities explicitly specify frozen blue gusto plucots or demonstrate demand for this variety as a line item. State and local buyers using this code span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), the State of Georgia, and municipal procurement offices. The dominant use case across recent solicitations is child nutrition services — breakfast and lunch programs subject to the National School Lunch Program, Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP food safety requirements, whole-grain standards, and low-sodium formulations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri. Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce across 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, and melons — a representative example of the broad frozen-and-fresh scope under which this code is tagged. City Schools of Decatur issued IFB for frozen foods and grocery items on April 16, 2026, due May 15, 2026, covering ten designated school sites with firm pricing and quarterly market adjustments capped at 10 percent. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items on March 31, 2026, with electronic bids due April 29, 2026, across 900 line items and 6,900 daily lunch participants. Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 on February 4, 2026, for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by geographic area. The code shows material recent activity, but the mismatch between the nominal commodity description and the actual work being solicited — which treats frozen blue gusto plucots as an unmarked line item within generic fresh and frozen produce categories rather than a specialized procurement target — suggests limited utility for vendors focused specifically on this variety.
