UNSPSC 50555865: Canned or jarred non GMO red ram plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO red ram 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 50555865 Canned or jarred non-GMO red ram plums (Commodity) does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity currently tagged under this code. The most recent opportunities associated with 50555865 cover canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, weekly food orders, food service supplies, fresh produce, and grocery items—none of which are canned or jarred red ram plums. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content suggests either systematic miscoding across multiple jurisdictions or that the code itself is rarely activated for its stated commodity. State and local procurement activity under this taxonomy identifier shows no recent relevant opportunities.
