UNSPSC 50545826: Frozen non GMO ebony plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO ebony 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 50545826 Frozen non-GMO ebony plums is a Commodity code that in practice does not capture meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block shows nine active solicitations, none of which isolate frozen non-GMO ebony plums or any single produce item as a distinct line of procurement — instead, they treat produce as one component within larger food-service aggregates. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' June 2026 grocery bid (BNB052266) for the Board of Education spans over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, and meat products, none tagged to a specific fruit variety. Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce encompasses over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty items but does not list plums. Rockwood R-VI School District's April 2026 grocery solicitation (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027) covers 900+ line items; Savannah-Chatham County's March 2026 bid includes 72 fresh produce items; and Douglas County's cooperative buying RFP for produce covers 72 line items across broad categories. None of these solicitations references frozen non-GMO ebony plums by name or isolates it as a commodity.

State and local procurement under the broader food-service codes targets school nutrition programs, with issuing bodies split between county and city school boards, state agencies, and independent districts across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. The activity is concentrated in school districts procuring National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program supplies; recent solicitations include RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs with response dates ranging from February through June 2026, most with July 1, 2026 contract start dates and firm fixed pricing through June 30, 2027. Buy American provisions requiring 51% domestic content and HACCP food-safety compliance are standard. The code shows no targeted or standalone market for frozen non-GMO ebony plums within state and local procurement; buyers aggregate produce procurement across dozens or hundreds of items and do not issue separate solicitations for individual frozen fruit varieties.
