UNSPSC 50545819: Frozen non GMO casselman plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO casselman 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 50545819 Frozen non-GMO Casselman plums (Commodity) does not match the scope of recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for frozen plums or specialty frozen fruit; instead, the postings center on comprehensive school nutrition procurement spanning fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, eggs, and full food-service distribution for school districts across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri.

The mismatch indicates that this Commodity code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local markets. The posted opportunities under UNSPSC 50545819 are generic school nutrition and grocery solicitations that encompass hundreds of line items across multiple product categories, not procurement focused on a single specialty frozen fruit. School districts and county boards issuing these contracts—including the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—do source frozen products, but the solicitations do not isolate frozen Casselman plums as a distinct category or line item. The recent high-volume opportunities posted between January and June 2026 treat frozen and fresh produce as broad commodity families within larger child nutrition service contracts, typically bundled with dozens or hundreds of other grocery items. Until state and local bodies begin posting isolated or line-item-level solicitations for specialty frozen fruits, this code is not a practical pursuit target.
