UNSPSC 50545802: Frozen non GMO angeleno plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO angeleno plums that have 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 50545802 Frozen non-GMO Angeleno plums (Commodity) is tagged in state and local procurement records but shows minimal alignment with actual solicitation activity — the code describes a specific produce item, yet the recent opportunities posted under it are comprehensive school nutrition contracts encompassing hundreds of line items across frozen products, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, and grocery staples. State and local governments do solicit frozen produce through the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, but the recent record shows school districts and education agencies buying broad grocery and produce portfolios rather than single-commodity procurements. The issuing bodies are almost entirely school nutrition programs and school districts — Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System — with one statewide Georgia solicitation for food and kitchen products. These are typically annual contracts running July through June, with quantities ranging from dozens to thousands of cases per item, firm pricing for the contract period, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP compliance, E-Verify authorization, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000), and sealed bid or RFP submission through district e-procurement portals.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary presence in Missouri. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' grocery-items IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning 1,100+ line items for July 2026–June 2027 delivery to central warehouse and school sites; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ fresh items including apples, berries, and vegetables for the same period; and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) across a cooperative covering 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One. Pricing must include packing and transportation with no fuel surcharges; payment terms are typically Net 30 to Net 45 days; and contracts often include renewal options for one to four additional years. Vendors must respond electronically through Bonfire, OpenGov, or NUTRIKIDS systems and complete extensive compliance documentation including USDA statements, state registration, liability certificates, food-recall procedures, and notarized affidavits.
