UNSPSC 50545839: Frozen non GMO holiday plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO holiday 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 50545839 Frozen non GMO holiday plums, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity; the recent opportunities in the source are tagged with this code but pursue grocery and fresh-produce procurement at a broad scope level rather than frozen holiday plums specifically. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, State of Georgia, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System have all recently issued grocery, fresh-produce, and food-service solicitations that encompass frozen items, fresh produce, dairy, meats, and prepared entrees as part of much larger National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program contracts. However, none of the posted notices identify frozen non-GMO holiday plums as a distinct line item or focus area; the commodity code's nominal scope does not align with the actual buying being solicited.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Missouri. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 response date covering over 200 line items of produce varieties, apples, berries, root vegetables, and specialty fruits. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) solicited grocery items with a firm June 30, 2026 deadline, spanning over 1,100 line items including frozen products, produce, dairy, and meats for delivery to a central warehouse and school sites. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) posted a grocery items bid due April 29, 2026, with over 900 line items covering snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, dairy, meats, and prepared entrees. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued an RFP for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts with an estimated annual spend of $5.5 million combined across two geographic areas, due March 4, 2026. These solicitations reveal that state and local procurement under this code currently reflects commodity-agnostic food-service contracting, not specialty frozen-fruit sourcing.
