UNSPSC 50521603: Non GMO birttany gold apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO birttany gold 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 50521603 Non-GMO Brittany Gold Apricots is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities show minimal activity directly aligned with this specialized produce item. School districts across Georgia and Texas are actively soliciting fresh produce through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs, but apricots—particularly Non-GMO Brittany Gold varieties—appear as line items within comprehensive produce procurement efforts rather than as standalone commodity buys. The opportunities posted between February and July 2026 reflect institutional food service demand for broad fresh-fruit portfolios serving school nutrition programs. Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System all posted procurement notices for fresh produce that encompass apples, bananas, berries, melons, citrus, and miscellaneous fruits—categories where apricots might fit—but none of the posted summaries explicitly name apricots as a specified item.

The market for this code remains predominantly school-district-driven across Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity from independent school districts in Florida and Texas border regions. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, where county and regional school systems use cooperative purchasing vehicles like the GEC Buying Cooperative (Douglas County School System serving 30 districts across two areas) to aggregate volume and manage annual contracts. Typical contract terms run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, firm pricing requirements, HACCP and traceability mandates, Buy American compliance, and line-item competitive awards. Representative recent procurements include Hancock County Board of Education IFB (posted June 10, 2026, bids due June 26, 2026) for over 200 produce line items, Bulloch County School District RFP (posted April 3, 2026, due May 4, 2026) for 24 local-produce items within 200 miles, and Douglas County School System RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) covering approximately 72 produce line items for 30 districts with estimated combined spending of $5.5 million. If pursuing this code, suppliers should position themselves within broader fresh-produce distribution networks serving school nutrition programs rather than expect standalone apricot procurement.
