UNSPSC 50545714: Frozen non GMO flavor supreme plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO flavor supreme 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 50545714 Frozen non-GMO flavor supreme plucot is a Commodity code that captures frozen specialty fruit products, though state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying broad-spectrum food supplies for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service rather than frozen plucots specifically. Recent opportunities show school districts and county governments procuring shelf-stable and fresh food items to support the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and community nutrition services. The issuing bodies include county boards of education, city school boards, county departments of community services, and state-level food procurement offices. Work solicited spans multi-line-item food purchasing — typically hundreds of line items across proteins, grains, produce, dairy, condiments, and paper supplies — with strong emphasis on Buy American provisions (51% domestic agricultural content minimum), USDA nutrition standards compliance, HACCP food safety protocols, E-Verify authorization, and debarment verification. Vendors must carry general liability insurance, provide product samples for blind testing and laboratory analysis, maintain cold-chain management for perishables, and accept orders through school system ordering platforms such as LINQ School Solutions.
