UNSPSC 50555852: Canned or jarred non GMO marked red plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO marked 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 50555852 Canned or jarred non-GMO marked red plums (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity evident in the recent opportunities block. The code's nominal scope specifies canned or jarred red plums with non-GMO marking; however, the most recent state and local solicitations tagged under or near this code solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, weekly food orders, and comprehensive food-service supply contracts spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees. None of the 18 recent opportunities identified in the source explicitly name canned red plums, canned plums, or plum-based products as the primary solicitation item. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two related ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026), which are the closest functional parallels to the code's canned-fruit scope, but applesauce is a distinct product category from plums.

The geographic spread of recent activity reflects solicitation activity across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with significant concentration among school districts, state departments of corrections and health services, and public school nutrition programs. State and local issuing bodies driving recent volume include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts in Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). The code shows no recent opportunities specifically targeting canned or jarred red plums as a standalone procurement item, indicating minimal or inactive market activity under this Commodity code at this time.
