UNSPSC 50555869: Canned or jarred non GMO royal diamond plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO royal diamond 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 50555869 Canned or jarred non-GMO royal diamond plums is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy this code as part of broader food-service procurement for institutional feeding — schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The recent opportunities show the code sitting within larger food-commodity RFQs and IFBs that bundle shelf-stable produce, proteins, and consumables; plums appear as one line item among dozens in multi-category food orders rather than as a standalone procurement driver. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, city school districts, and county senior-services departments. Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut appear repeatedly in recent activity, with state-level buyers (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Oregon DOC) and school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education) both active in the code space.

Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (due October 19, 2026, at 3:00 p.m.), awarded to the lowest responsive bidder; Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, encompassing 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated food products (bid response deadline March 19, 2026, at 10:30 AM Central Time, with a maximum potential contract value of $4,500,000 over three years); and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year covering over 200 line items of produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits (sealed bids due June 26, 2026, at 12:00 p.m.). These solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing per unit or case, FOB destination delivery to institutional feeding sites, compliance with USDA commodity standards and Buy American provisions, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value based on price and vendor performance history.
