UNSPSC 50545871: Frozen non GMO royal zee plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO royal zee 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 50545871 Frozen non GMO royal zee plums (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code represents a single specialty produce item, yet the most recent opportunities soliciting under this code show no purchases of frozen royal zee plums specifically. Instead, state and local school districts and education authorities across the region are buying broad-based grocery and fresh-produce contracts that span hundreds of line items — frozen fruits and vegetables as part of comprehensive food-service procurement, but without evidence of demand for this particular cultivar.

School districts and county boards of education are the dominant issuing bodies, with recent IFBs and RFPs from Bridgeport (Connecticut), Hancock County (Georgia), Early County (Georgia), Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), and Douglas County (Georgia) spanning June 2026 back to January 2026. The most active geographic cluster is Georgia, where multiple school systems have issued fresh-produce and food-supply solicitations. Concrete recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty produce; the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; and Decatur City Schools' IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) requiring HACCP plans, 24/7 recall accessibility, and whole-grain compliance. The absence of frozen royal zee plums as a line item in any of these multi-hundred-item procurements signals minimal or no current market demand for this specific commodity within state and local school nutrition programs.
