UNSPSC 50545824: Frozen non GMO early rosa plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO early rosa 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 50545824 Frozen non-GMO early Rosa plums (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The nine most recent opportunities tagged under this code span grocery items, fresh produce, and food supply distribution for school nutrition programs across multiple jurisdictions, but none specifically solicit frozen non-GMO early Rosa plums or frozen plums of any variety. The code's nominal scope—a single frozen fruit commodity—diverges markedly from the actual procurement activity, which centers on broad-based food service contracting that encompasses hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, grains, dairy, and supplies rather than individual commodity purchases.

School districts and school nutrition systems in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri represent the dominant issuing bodies in recent activity, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), and Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) all posting IFBs and RFPs for fresh or frozen food products between February and June 2026. The Douglas County School System appears twice, issuing separate RFPs for fresh produce and eggs and for food supply and distribution services with estimated annual expenditures of $4.4 million and $9 million respectively. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Missouri. The representative opportunities—Hancock County's June 26, 2026 IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items, Decatur's May 15, 2026 IFB for frozen foods and grocery items, and Rockwood's April 29, 2026 electronic bid for over 900 grocery-item line items—all emphasize whole grain standards, Buy American compliance, HACCP documentation, and firm pricing with no fuel surcharges, but none target frozen plums specifically.
