UNSPSC 50545717: Frozen non GMO flavorich plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO flavorich 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 50545717 Frozen non-GMO flavorich plucot is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty produce items, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows limited direct alignment with the frozen plucot product itself. State and local jurisdictions soliciting food products — school districts, county governments, and municipal agencies — procure these items primarily through broader grocery and produce contracts that span fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples to support school lunch programs, senior services, and community meal initiatives. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts represent the dominant buyer category under food procurement codes, driven by National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements that mandate Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items), USDA nutrition standards compliance, and adherence to whole-grain, low-sodium, and no-added-sugar specifications.

Recent opportunities posted across Georgia and Connecticut illustrate the activity pattern. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items — peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables — for senior services delivery by December 7, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty items) via sealed bid (IFB) with June 26, 2026 response deadline for the 2026-27 school year. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sought bids on over 1,100 grocery line items for the school board's food service operation with a June 30, 2026 deadline and a July 2026 to June 2027 contract term. Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items plus non-food supplies with a June 8, 2026 deadline. These contracts uniformly require firm fixed pricing inclusive of packing and delivery, prohibit separate fuel surcharges, demand vendor references and compliance documentation (HACCP plans, liability insurance, debarment verification, E-Verify authorization), and allow award to single or multiple vendors based on lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder evaluation.
