UNSPSC 50555832: Canned or jarred non GMO gar red plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO gar red 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 50555832 Canned or jarred non-GMO garden red plums is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity under this exact specification; the opportunities tagged to this code do not align with the product line it names. Recent solicitations capture state and local government food service procurement across broader categories — canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit products, fresh produce, and general food supply — but no opportunities explicitly solicit canned or jarred red plums, GMO or non-GMO. The mismatch suggests either infrequent specification of this particular commodity or tagging inconsistency in the source data.

The few state and local bodies posting food service opportunities pursue them primarily through K–12 school districts, state correctional and health departments, and municipal institutions. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) appear as repeat buyers across broader food categories. Geographically, recent activity clusters in the South (Georgia, Texas) and appears across the Pacific Northwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest; no single state dominates, and no recent opportunity tags this specific plum commodity. Representative recent solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026) with delivery to Salem and a 5 percent Oregon preference, and Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), structured as all-inclusive unit pricing with firm fixed rates. Without documented demand for canned red plums specifically, the code signals limited current opportunity despite active procurement across adjacent canned and fresh fruit categories.
