UNSPSC 50545704: Frozen non GMO dapple dandy plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO dapple dandy 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 50545704 Frozen non-GMO dapple dandy plucot is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to this specific product line. The recent opportunities posted under this code span school district food service procurement, but they address broad grocery and fresh produce categories rather than the specialized frozen fruit item the code nominates. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, serving the Bridgeport Board of Education, posted a comprehensive grocery bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) covering over 1,100 line items including frozen products alongside cereals, baked goods, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and snacks. Similarly, school districts in Georgia—Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, and Savannah-Chatham County—and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri all issued solicitations for grocery items and fresh produce spanning hundreds of line items each, but none specified dapple dandy plucots or similar specialty frozen fruits. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) procurement through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs estimated $4.4 million to $1.1 million annually but focused on staple produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots) and eggs rather than niche frozen stone fruits.

State and local procurement under this code code shows primarily school district and county board of education buyers across Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut, all supporting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. The activity is concentrated in school nutrition procurement with standard 48-hour-to-Friday delivery windows to central warehouses and individual school sites, firm fixed pricing for full contract years (typically July through June), Buy American provisions mandating 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP compliance, liability insurance minimums of $1 million to $2 million, and Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms. However, no recent solicitation targets frozen specialty plucots or comparable single-product frozen fruit lines; the code's nominal commodity does not align with the broad-basket procurement activity the opportunities actually reflect.
