UNSPSC 50521601: Non GMO ambercot apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO ambercot apricots. 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 50521601 Non-GMO ambercot apricots is a Commodity code that sits at the most granular tier of the taxonomy. State and local governments buying under this code procure fresh fruit for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition initiatives. Recent opportunities show school districts soliciting fresh produce under broader family and class codes—the source contains no recent procurement activity specifically for apricot varieties, let alone non-GMO ambercots. The opportunities in the data span fresh produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, melons, citrus, stone fruits, and leafy greens) but ambercots do not appear in any of the recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices posted between February and July 2026.

The code shows no recent state or local procurement activity. School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin have issued multiple solicitations for fresh produce procurement in the past six months—Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 and 4163, July 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB, June 2026), Bulloch County School District (RFP, April–May 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (IFB, March–April 2026), Muscogee County School District (ITB, March–April 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, March–April 2026), Glynn County Board of Education (IFB 27-02, March–April 2026), McAllen Independent School District (RFP 2026-1029, February–March 2026, extended), Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034, February–March 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative, February–March 2026)—yet none cite ambercots. The procurement activity is concentrated in school nutrition programs supplying National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program initiatives, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, Buy American compliance, and commodity diversity. This code does not appear to reflect current state and local purchasing patterns for any specific fruit type, let alone a specialty apricot variety.
