UNSPSC 50545722: Frozen non GMO sierra rose plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO sierra rose 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 50545722 Frozen non-GMO sierra rose plucot is a Commodity code that maps to food procurement activity, though the recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code do not reflect purchases of the specific product named. Instead, Gwinnett County, the City of Bridgeport, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, and the State of Georgia have posted bids for broad food categories—shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, and school meal program provisions including meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and condiments—rather than frozen plucots specifically. The code appears to be applied generically to food commodity purchases spanning multiple product lines rather than the niche frozen fruit category its name suggests. Issuing bodies consist primarily of school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education) and county government purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Early County), with one state-level procurement (Georgia Department of Administration). School nutrition programs for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program dominate the recent activity, with secondary activity in general county services procurement.

Geographically, the code shows concentrated recent activity in Georgia, with Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, and the State of Georgia all posting opportunities between May and October 2026, alongside one significant Connecticut opportunity through the City of Bridgeport. Representative recent procurements include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces) with an IFB posted October 13, 2026 and quotes due October 19, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport's procurement of over 1,100 grocery line items for school food service with electronic bids due June 30, 2026; and Early County Board of Education's food and non-food bid covering approximately 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies with bids due June 8, 2026. All school-based opportunities emphasize Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content minimum for processed items), HACCP compliance, and alignment with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act and USDA nutrition standards. Award methodologies uniformly specify lowest responsive and responsible bidder pricing with firm fixed terms and transportation included, and split awards by line item are permitted at issuer discretion.
