UNSPSC 50545873: Frozen non GMO santa rosa plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO santa 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 50545873 Frozen non GMO santa rosa plums is a Commodity code, but the source contains no recent state and local procurement opportunities actually soliciting frozen Santa Rosa plums specifically. The nine opportunities in the dataset tag frozen fruits, fresh produce, and mixed grocery items under broader codes, but none target this particular commodity. While the code's abstract name suggests a specialized produce item, the recent state and local activity shows school districts, county education boards, and municipal school systems procuring generalized frozen and fresh produce categories—apples, berries, mixed vegetables, citrus, and stone fruits in bulk—rather than branded or varietal-specific items like Santa Rosa plums.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. Recent solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education (IFB for 1,100+ grocery line items due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Schools in Georgia (IFB for fresh produce, due June 26, 2026), Early County Schools (food and non-food line-by-line bids, due June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (IFB for frozen foods and grocery, due May 15, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (900+ grocery line items, due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (fresh produce annual contract, due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County Schools operating a Georgia Education Cooperative buying pool (RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts, due March 4, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Connecticut. The code itself shows little active procurement volume—if frozen Santa Rosa plums are being bought by state and local agencies, they are not being solicited under this specific commodity designation.
