UNSPSC 50545868: Frozen non GMO rosemary plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO rosemary 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 50545868, Frozen non-GMO rosemary plums (Commodity), does not map meaningfully to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The most recent opportunities soliciting under this code are school nutrition programs procuring broad frozen and fresh produce assortments for child nutrition services, but none of the posted solicitations name frozen rosemary plums or any specialty frozen stone fruits as line items. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an RFQ on June 30, 2026, seeking over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services; the Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, for over 200 fresh produce items including multiple apple varieties, berries, and root vegetables, with response due June 26, 2026; and the City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB on April 16, 2026, for frozen foods and grocery items meeting whole-grain, low-sodium, and zero-trans-fat standards for the 2026–2027 school year. A parallel Georgia statewide procurement posted May 15, 2026, and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for 300+ items posted May 11, 2026. None of these solicitations reference frozen rosemary plums or specialty stone fruit products in their scope descriptions or line-item listings.

The code's issuing bodies are overwhelmingly school districts and school boards across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri, with isolated state-level activity. Repeat buyers include the Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Decatur City Schools—all pursuing annual nutrition contracts under standard IFB and RFP processes with Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and firm-price terms across multi-year contract periods. The geographic pattern centers on Georgia school systems and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts), with secondary activity in Connecticut and Missouri. The code shows no recent opportunities specifically matching frozen non-GMO rosemary plums; procurement activity under this code tag appears to reflect a classification mismatch rather than actual market demand for the named commodity.
