UNSPSC 50545805: Frozen non GMO autumn giant plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO autumn giant 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 50545805 Frozen non GMO autumn giant plums is a Commodity code used sparingly by state and local education and social-services agencies to tag produce procurement, though the recent opportunities show little activity tied specifically to frozen autumn giant plums. The code appears in food-service bidding alongside broader produce and grocery categories. State and local buyers use UNSPSC tagging inconsistently at the commodity level; this code's nominal scope (frozen non-GMO autumn giant plums) does not align with the work actually being solicited. Recent opportunities under or near this code involve school districts and county departments of community services procuring fresh produce, shelf-stable groceries, and prepared foods for school lunch programs, early childhood services, and senior nutrition initiatives. The issuing bodies are predominantly education boards—Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education—and county human-services departments such as Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners. These buyers enforce Buy American domestic-content requirements (51 percent minimum for processed goods), USDA nutrition standards including whole-grain specifications, food-safety compliance (HACCP plans, E-Verify), and firm fixed-price contracts with no fuel or freight surcharges permitted.

Recent opportunities span Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce for school year 2026-27 via IFB with bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and citrus across three school sites. Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods—peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and soups—due October 19, 2026 for the Department of Community Services. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education sought bids on over 1,100 grocery-line items subject to Buy American, nutrition standards, and blind lab testing, with electronic bids due June 30, 2026. The State of Georgia issued a food supplies solicitation with bids due June 22, 2026. None of these opportunities specifically name frozen autumn giant plums; the code's narrow commodity focus does not reflect current state and local procurement demand.
