UNSPSC 50555822: Canned or jarred non GMO dolly plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO dolly 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 50555822 Canned or jarred non-GMO dolly plums (Commodity) does not see meaningful recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code are purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food and consumable products for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and state institutions — none of which match the specific commodity of canned or jarred dolly plums. The mismatch suggests either a catalog or classification error in how these opportunities were tagged.

If activity does occur under this code in practice, it would likely be driven by state correctional departments, school nutrition programs, and state health and human services facilities purchasing shelf-stable fruit products for food service. The issuing bodies in the broader food procurement space — Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, and county education boards — represent the kinds of institutional buyers that stock canned fruit. However, without recent opportunities explicitly soliciting canned or jarred dolly plums, characterizing geographic concentration, frequency, or market penetration would not be grounded in evidence.
