UNSPSC 50545834: Frozen non GMO grand rosa plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO grand 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 50545834 Frozen non-GMO Grand Rosa plums is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not solicit frozen Grand Rosa plums specifically. Instead, they request broad grocery and fresh-produce procurement for school nutrition programs, encompassing hundreds of line items across vegetables, fruits, proteins, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the opportunities posted appear to use this code as a catch-all classifier for produce-adjacent categories rather than targeting a single frozen fruit variety. School districts and state purchasing offices remain the primary issuing bodies, with contracts spanning July 2026 through June 2027 and firm pricing requirements throughout the term, Buy American provisions mandating 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP compliance, and delivery to central warehouses and individual school sites Monday through Friday during restricted morning windows.

The geographic spread covers Georgia heavily—Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County school systems all posted fresh-produce and grocery RFPs or IFBs between January and June 2026—with additional activity in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). The most substantial recent opportunity is the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative, spanning 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Smaller representatives include the City of Bridgeport's BID052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026 (IFB), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items and a June 26, 2026 deadline. Vendors must maintain $1 million general liability insurance, E-Verify authorization, and three to five years of prior school nutrition experience; awards are made on a line-item or multi-vendor basis, and payment terms run Net 30 to Net 45 days from delivery or invoice receipt.
