UNSPSC 50545861: Frozen non GMO queen rosa plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO queen 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 50545861 Frozen non-GMO queen rosa plums is a Commodity code that nominally specifies a single frozen fruit product, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it reflect a much broader scope: comprehensive school nutrition procurement spanning frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and related supplies that support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance. The actual buying activity shows school districts and related public bodies procuring bundled grocery and food service contracts where frozen and fresh items are intermingled line items rather than single-SKU purchases. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts — Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) — along with a state-level grocery procurement from Georgia. These jurisdictions are repeat buyers of food service contracts on annual cycles timed to the school year (July 1 to June 30).

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and the Southeast, with secondary presence in Connecticut and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery and frozen products (response due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Schools' IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items for the 2026-27 school year (response due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food and non-food bid with 300+ items and 60 non-food products (response due June 8, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined (response due March 4, 2026). Vendors face Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP plan and food-recall documentation, comprehensive insurance ($1,000,000 general liability per occurrence standard), E-Verify compliance, firm fixed pricing throughout contract terms (typically July–June annual), and delivery to multiple school sites with no separate fuel surcharges. Blind sample testing, nutritional labeling verification, whole-grain compliance, and low-sodium or zero-added-sugar formulations are routine requirements.
