UNSPSC 50545877: Frozen non GMO white bullace plum

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO white bullace plum that has 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 50545877 Frozen non GMO white bullace plum is a Commodity code that does not see active state and local procurement based on the recent opportunities in the source. The eight opportunities posted between January and June 2026 are all tagged under this code but describe comprehensive school food service contracts spanning hundreds of line items (breakfast cereals, fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, meats, vegetables, fruits, condiments, and supplies) rather than bullace plums specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited indicates either category-tagging inconsistency in the state and local database or minimal direct procurement of frozen non-GMO white bullace plums as a standalone commodity line in public-sector food service.

The issuing bodies pursuing school nutrition contracts under this code tag are primarily independent school districts and county school systems across Georgia (Douglas County, Early County, Hancock County, Decatur City Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), with one city government (Bridgeport, Connecticut) and one Missouri school district (Rockwood R-VI) also soliciting. Competitive activity is concentrated in Georgia, where multiple school districts issue annual IFBs and RFPs for produce, frozen goods, and main-line distribution during the late winter and spring months (January through June) to award contracts effective July 1 for the subsequent school year. The Douglas County School System appears as the most active buyer, posting two separate RFPs in January and February 2026 for main-line food distribution (approximately $9 million annually) and fresh produce plus eggs serving 30 cooperative districts (approximately $5.5 million combined). Representative recent solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with June 26, 2026 response date; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative with March 4, 2026 deadline serving 30 districts. All require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content), HACCP plans, full food-safety documentation, firm pricing including freight, and Net 30–45 day payment terms.
