UNSPSC 50555815: Canned or jarred non GMO black splendor plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO black splendor plums that have been canned or jarred 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 50555815 Canned or jarred non GMO black splendor plums, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement, with the posting record containing no opportunities specifically for this product line. The code's nominal scope—preserved stone fruit in sealed containers meeting non-GMO certification—does not align with the food procurement solicitations in the recent-opportunities block, which span institutional food service for correctional facilities, schools, senior services, veterans homes, and state hospitals. When state and local buyers do purchase shelf-stable produce, they bid broad commodity categories covering dozens of items (fresh produce, canned vegetables, supplemental foods, cafeteria staples) rather than single SKUs. The absence of dedicated plum solicitations suggests either sporadic demand absorbed into larger food contracts, direct buys at lower thresholds, or purchases through cooperative vehicles not surfaced in posted notices.

Across the region where food-service procurement is active—Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut—issuing bodies include departments of corrections, boards of education, counties, state health and human services agencies, and school districts. Representative recent solicitations from this ecosystem include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products bid (IFB 304T26300CF, May 4, 2026), which consolidated 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and canned goods for five regional warehouses; the State of Georgia's food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009, June 22, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned fruit applesauce ITB (S2910000016975, June 2, 2026), which specified USDA 2011 commodity standards and FOB Destination delivery to Salem. These solicitations reflect institutional purchasing patterns: large case volumes, brand-or-equal specifications, compliance with USDA standards and Buy American provisions, and delivery to centralized distribution points. Canned plums, if purchased at all within this code, would enter as a line item within a larger preserved-produce or institutional-staples category rather than trigger a standalone procurement action.
