UNSPSC 50545854: Frozen non GMO october sun plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO october sun 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 50545854 Frozen non GMO october sun plums is a Commodity code that does not map cleanly to actual recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code — notably a City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) grocery items procurement, Hancock County (Georgia) fresh produce bid, Rockwood R-VI (Missouri) grocery items solicitation, and multiple Georgia school district fresh-produce and food-service contracts — involve broad fresh-produce and food-supply categories. None of the recent solicitations explicitly specify frozen October Sun plums or plums at any stage of processing. The source records show a mismatch between the code's nominal product scope and the work actually being solicited, signaling that either the code is being applied inconsistently by issuing bodies or recent demand for frozen specialty plums falls outside the visibility of state and local contract posting systems.

The recent opportunities do reveal strong and repeated demand for school nutrition procurement across multiple jurisdictions, particularly in Georgia (Douglas County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Decatur City Schools, and a 30-district cooperative through the GEC Buying Cooperative), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI). These school districts and municipalities are procuring fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, and food-service distribution under IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs with response windows typically 30–60 days. Contracts run July 1 through June 30 annually, demand firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, require HACCP plans and Buy American compliance, and specify delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday. If your firm supplies frozen specialty fruits — including plums or similar specialty produce in frozen form — the immediate opportunity lies in school nutrition programs and municipal food-service procurement rather than under this specific code, which shows no current demand signals for the commodity named.
