UNSPSC 50521575: Non GMO red stayman apples

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO red stayman 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 50521575 Non GMO red stayman apples, a Commodity code, describes fresh apple procurement by state and local food service operations — school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and other institutional buyers that source fresh produce for cafeteria, concession, and patient meal programs. State and local governments buy apples under this code as line items within broader food-service contracts and as standalone produce bids, specifying variety, ripeness stage, size, temperature requirements at delivery, fill rates, and compliance with food-safety protocols including HACCP documentation and traceability by farm of origin.

Recent solicitations show the code active across Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida school districts and special-purpose bodies. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) for delivery to three school locations during the 2026–27 contract year, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) released a petite-banana RFB on July 8, 2026 due July 29, 2026, signaling active school-nutrition procurement in that region; the same district concurrently solicited fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles and within Wisconsin, with a $0.20 per pound organic preference discount and contingency on federal Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant funding approval. Bartow County School System (Georgia) sought local fresh fruits and vegetables via RFP 10-2026-019, posted May 21, 2026, with proposal deadline June 22, 2026 and contract award anticipated July 20, 2026, requiring vendors to source from farms within 400 miles and document seasonal availability and traceability. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line food bids on May 11, 2026 due June 8, 2026, encompassing 300+ food items including fresh fruits and vegetables. Collier County Parks and Recreation (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park on October 8, 2026, due March 6, 2025, applying a 10-point local-vendor preference. Marion Health Care Coalition (Ohio) sought fresh produce proposals due August 21, 2026. Activity concentrates in school-nutrition procurement, with secondary demand from parks and recreation departments and healthcare food service operations; local-sourcing preferences and Buy American provisions appear in multiple school-district bids.
