UNSPSC 50555826: Canned or jarred non GMO ebony plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO ebony 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 50555826 Canned or jarred non-GMO ebony plums is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurements. The opportunities tagged with this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broader food service supply—none of which match the code's nominal scope of canned ebony plums. The mismatch suggests either misclassification at the source or a code that sees little relevant recent activity aligned to its description.

The recent opportunities show substantial food service procurement activity across state correctional departments, school districts, and health and human services agencies, but tagged items diverge significantly from the code name. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce; Austin Independent School District posted RFP 27RFP004 in June 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited quarterly weekly food orders in June 2026 with brand-specific requirements. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Douglas County School System, and multiple other jurisdictions across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Texas posted opportunities for fresh produce, eggs, and broad grocery supply during the same window. Issuing bodies include state agencies (corrections, health and human services, procurement offices), independent school districts, and county school systems. Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois, with school nutrition procurement particularly concentrated in Georgia and Texas. Because the code designation does not match the work being purchased, this code shows limited decision-relevance for business development focused on canned plum products specifically.
