UNSPSC 50545860: Frozen non GMO purple majesty plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO purple majesty 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 50545860 Frozen non-GMO purple majesty plums (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve broad school nutrition procurement for grocery items, fresh produce, frozen foods, food supply distribution, and eggs across multiple school districts and state agencies, but none specifically solicit frozen purple majesty plums or any single frozen-fruit commodity. The code's nominal scope—a specific frozen fruit variety—does not align with the actual work being bought, which encompasses comprehensive food-service contracting spanning hundreds of line items across multiple categories.

The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities were tagged or that this Commodity code is too granular for active state and local procurement. School districts and state purchasing bodies across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and other states are actively buying food and produce under broader family and class-level codes (fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples), but the frozen-plum specification appears inactive at the state and local level. Vendors targeting this code should verify with individual school districts and state procurement offices whether purple majesty plums—frozen or fresh—appear in their detailed line-item specs, as current opportunities show no explicit demand for this variety.
