UNSPSC 50521602: Non GMO apache apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO apache 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 50521602 Non GMO apache apricots is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local agencies, schools, and special districts. The recent opportunities posted under this code show state and local governments buying fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, regional park concessions, and healthcare facility food services. The scope spans ready-to-eat produce requiring strict compliance with food safety, traceability, farm-of-origin documentation, and delivery specifications. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple districts soliciting seasonal fresh produce via IFB and RFP notices; Marion Health Care Coalition and Collier County also appear as food-service buyers. Vendors typically must meet HACCP plan requirements, liability insurance minimums ($500,000 to $1 million), E-Verify compliance, and product-quality guarantees including minimum fill rates and temperature control for delivery.
