UNSPSC 50545870: Frozen non GMO royal red plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO royal red 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 50545870 Frozen non-GMO royal red plums is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single frozen-fruit product, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity aligned with this specific item. The recent opportunities block contains no dedicated procurement for frozen royal red plums; instead, the code appears in a broader grocery and produce context where frozen plums, if procured at all, are absorbed into general frozen-fruit or frozen-food line items within multi-category solicitations. School districts and state purchasing bodies are the primary issuing bodies posting under related produce and frozen-food codes, but this Commodity code itself shows little distinct recent activity.

The geographic spread of recent solicitations clustering under related frozen-food and produce codes spans Georgia (Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Decatur City Schools, Early County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB due June 26, 2026, which spans over 200 produce line items including apples, berries, and vegetables but does not itemize frozen plums separately, and the Decatur City Schools IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026, which encompasses frozen products alongside other groceries under Buy American and whole-grain compliance. The Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) across 30 districts in a cooperative purchasing structure represents the largest recent dollar activity at approximately $5.5 million annually. This Commodity code shows limited direct relevance to current state and local procurement; vendors pursuing frozen-fruit supply should monitor broader frozen-food and produce family codes instead.
