UNSPSC 50545711: Frozen non GMO flavor jewel plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO flavor jewel 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 50545711 Frozen non-GMO flavor jewel plucot is a Commodity code that covers specialty frozen fruit products for institutional foodservice, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity for the plucot variety specifically. Instead, the code appears underutilized or misaligned with actual procurement needs; the five most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code pursue broad food and produce categories—shelf-stable pantry items, general grocery assortments, fresh produce line-item bidding, and mixed food and non-food supplies—rather than the narrow frozen specialty fruit scope the code name describes. School districts and county governments dominate the issuing body mix, with the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia all soliciting food-related contracts in recent months. The work spans National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provision documentation (51% domestic agricultural content in processed goods), USDA nutrition standards, HACCP and recall protocols, and firm fixed-price annual supply arrangements with F.O.B. Destination delivery, typically Monday through Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a due date of October 19, 2026; Hancock County Schools posted an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce due June 26, 2026; Early County Schools posted a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026; and the State of Georgia posted a general food supplies bid due June 22, 2026. Connecticut activity appears in the City of Bridgeport's June 30, 2026 electronic bid for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the school board's Food & Nutrition Services. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity scope—frozen specialty plucots do not appear in any of the recent solicitations—suggesting that either the code is rarely used for this narrow product category or is frequently misapplied by issuing bodies tagging broader food procurement.
