UNSPSC 50545832: Frozen non GMO gar red plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO gar red 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 50545832 Frozen non-GMO gat red plums is a Commodity code that captures frozen fruit procurement for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show procurement of comprehensive grocery and frozen food items in support of the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, though frozen plums specifically appear as line items within larger multi-category solicitations. School districts are the primary issuing bodies, with solicitations from independent school districts (Bridgeport, Decatur, Rockwood, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County, Early County, Douglas County) in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. These jurisdictions purchase frozen and fresh produce alongside complementary grocery items—meats, dairy, breads, beverages, condiments, and supplies—as integrated procurements rather than narrow commodity acquisitions. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content in processed products, HACCP plan compliance, 24/7 food recall accessibility, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards are consistent across all opportunities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and extends to Connecticut and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' solicitation for grocery items (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items with firm pricing and 30-day advance notice for price adjustments; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 produce items with three delivery locations across the school year; the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in Area One; and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items solicitation (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items with electronic submission through NUTRIKIDS. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with firm pricing, no fuel surcharges, prepaid freight on pallets, Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms, and product acceptance contingent on blind testing and compliance documentation.
