UNSPSC 50545705: Frozen non GMO dapple fire plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO dapple fire 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 50545705 Frozen non GMO dapple fire plucot is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specialty frozen fruit product—dapple fire plucots with non-GMO certification—yet the nine most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span general grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, and school nutrition services supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across multiple states. The opportunities include comprehensive food-service contracts encompassing hundreds of line items (meats, dairy, vegetables, grains, condiments, prepared entrees, frozen foods, and fresh produce), not single-commodity specialty items. This mismatch indicates either misclassification in state and local procurement systems or that the code is not actively used for its nominal scope in current bidding.
