UNSPSC 50545863: Frozen non GMO red beaut plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO red beaut 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 50545863 Frozen non-GMO red Beauti plums is a Commodity code that captures school district purchases of frozen fruit products for child nutrition programs, though recent state and local opportunities show the code applies broadly across school lunch and breakfast procurement when frozen fruit is bundled with wider grocery categories. State and local governments buying under this code are almost exclusively school districts and school systems sourcing food for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The Bridgeport Board of Education issued IFB BNB052266 in June 2026 for over 1,100 grocery line items (frozen products included) with a contract running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and a response deadline of June 30, 2026; the City Schools of Decatur issued IFB PE77310NONST2026000000018 for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026 for the 2026–27 school year. Typical school district procurements at this code level require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products), HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, compliance with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, whole grain requirements, low-sodium and zero-trans-fat formulations, and delivery Monday through Friday to central warehouses and individual school sites between morning and early afternoon windows. Vendors must carry commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and pricing is firm for the contract period with no fuel surcharges permitted.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary representation from Missouri. The Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 (PE64810NONST2026000000047) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia regions with an estimated annual spend of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with proposals due March 4, 2026; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issued Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items with approximately 21,125 cases annually of certain items, sealed bids due April 23, 2026; Early County Board of Education posted IFB PE55045NONST2027000000006 for approximately 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies due June 8, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB SN002-2027 (PE67080NONST2027000000013) for over 200 fresh produce line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited over 900 grocery line items with electronic bids due April 29, 2026. The State of Georgia also issued a general food and supplies request (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026, though scope details were not disclosed. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix with no evident participation from state agencies, counties, cities, or transit authorities under the code in the recent window.
