UNSPSC 50521509: Non GMO cameo apples

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO cameo apples. 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 50521509 Non GMO camelo apples is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities block shows minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The eight posted solicitations from state and local school nutrition programs—all dated between February and July 2026—focus overwhelmingly on broad fresh produce procurement (including bananas, citrus, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, and eggs) rather than non-GMO cameo apples specifically. Only one of the sixteen solicitation records mentions apples by variety at all, and none target cameo apples as a line item. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its stated commodity definition.

School districts and district-sponsored cooperatives dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas. The most active buyers are the Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), which posted two solicitations in July 2026 for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks; the Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), which issued an IFB for 200+ fresh produce line items in June 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia), which released an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative in February 2026 covering 30 school districts across two regions with an estimated combined annual spend of $5.5 million. Additional school nutrition programs in Bartow County, Early County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) all solicited comprehensive produce and food service contracts. The geographic concentration reflects Georgia and Texas as primary procurement hubs, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and Florida. Procurement vehicles include RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs, with response dates typically 30–45 days from posting and contract terms running July 1 through June 30 annually, mirroring school fiscal year calendars.
