UNSPSC 50545851: Frozen non GMO marked black plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO marked black 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 50545851 Frozen non-GMO marked black plums is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single frozen fruit product, but the recent solicitation record shows no state or local opportunities specifically requesting frozen black plums. The source material contains nine recent state and local procurement notices spanning grocery items, fresh produce, and food supply contracts for school districts and municipalities, none of which isolate frozen black plums or reference this code in their documented scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the code's narrow product designation and the broad, multifaceted food procurement opportunities actually being solicited suggests this Commodity code does not map to actionable state and local demand right now.

School districts across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri dominate the recent opportunities, with active solicitations from the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, 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 posting IFBs and RFPs for annual school nutrition contracts running July 2026 through June 2027. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia (four recent opportunities) and Missouri and Connecticut (one each), with fresh produce, frozen foods, and grocery items as the dominant procurement categories. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's grocery items RFQ (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items for the school food service, the Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ line items across multiple produce varieties, and the Douglas County School System RFP for food supply and distribution (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due February 18, 2026) to serve 25,500 students with approximately $9 million annual expenditure. These opportunities uniformly require USDA Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, firm pricing with no fuel surcharges, and delivery to multiple school sites, but none specifically cite frozen black plums.
