UNSPSC 50555860: Canned or jarred non GMO purple majesty plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO purple majesty 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 50555860 Canned or jarred non-GMO purple majesty plums, a Commodity code, does not reflect state and local procurement activity in the source records. The source shows nine recent solicitations posted between May and October 2026, spanning food service procurement by county boards of education, state departments, city school districts, and state human services agencies. None of these opportunities specifically names purple majesty plums or canned/jarred specialty plums. Instead, recent activity clusters around broad food-service categories: fresh produce (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin ISD), general commodity and shelf-stable food items (Gwinnett County, Bridgeport Board of Education), weekly food service contracts (Illinois Veterans Homes at Quincy), applesauce specifically (Oregon Department of Corrections, twice), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin ISD), and mixed food and consumables for correctional and supported living facilities (Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ). The code's nominal product—canned or jarred purple majesty plums—appears in none of the recent opportunities examined.

State and local procurement under this code segment shows no decision-relevant current activity. If your firm supplies specialty canned or jarred plums to institutional food service, monitor activity under broader fruit and produce categories (50551000 and adjacent codes) rather than this specific commodity code. The recent activity pattern suggests demand concentrates in general food service procurement vehicles covering large line-item lists with brand-or-equal flexibility, seasonal school nutrition contracts, and quarterly institutional food orders, none of which explicitly target specialty plum products. Track Georgia's ongoing food-supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) and Texas HHSC's multi-facility food contracts (HHS0017449 and HHS0016792V2) as proxy opportunities where specialty fruit items may be nested, though the source does not confirm plum inclusion in either.
