UNSPSC 50545810: Frozen non GMO black beaut plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO black beaut 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 50545810 Frozen non-GMO black beauty plums (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within school nutrition procurement, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show little activity specifically for frozen plums—the code's nominal scope does not align with the actual purchasing patterns evident in the opportunities block. State and local governments procuring under related grocery and produce codes are soliciting broad commodity categories spanning frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, and prepared items to support school lunch and breakfast programs, child nutrition services, and institutional food operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education across multiple states, with occasional municipal and county participation. School nutrition programs operate under USDA National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements, including Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), whole grain standards, low-sodium formulations, HACCP plan compliance, food recall accessibility, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards. Delivery typically occurs Monday through Friday during school hours to central warehouses or individual school sites, with firm pricing throughout the contract period, prepaid freight, and payment terms of Net 30 to Net 45 days.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and bordering states, with notable opportunities from the Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with estimated annual spending of $9 million, due February 18, 2026, and RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across two areas with estimated spending of $5.5 million combined, due March 4, 2026), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34 for fresh produce, due April 23, 2026), the City Schools of Decatur (IFB for frozen foods and grocery items, due May 15, 2026), and the Hancock County Board of Education (IFB for fresh produce, due June 26, 2026). Additional activity includes the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (grocery items covering over 900 line items, due April 29, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education, due June 30, 2026), and the State of Georgia (general food, supplies, and kitchen products, due June 22, 2026). The code shows no recent solicitations specifically requesting frozen black beauty plums as a distinct line item; frozen and fresh produce are bundled within larger grocery and produce contracts where individual items are one of dozens or hundreds of line items.
