UNSPSC 50521606: Non GMO bonny apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO bonny 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 50521606 Non GMO bonny apricots (Commodity) shows minimal recent relevant procurement activity under the code. The single state and local opportunity posted in the dataset is Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162, issued July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026, which solicits petite bananas—not apricots—in 150-count cases delivered to a single food production center in Madison, Wisconsin. The remainder of the recent opportunities in the source are fresh produce procurements (lettuce, berries, apples, root vegetables, citrus, and other staple items) issued by school districts and a state purchasing office across Georgia and Texas, none of which reference bonny apricots or other specialty stone fruits by name or UNSPSC code alignment.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix across the broader fresh produce category, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Glynn County school systems) and Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD), supplemented by a Georgia statewide food-supplies procurement and the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts. Solicitations are structured as RFBs, RFPs, and IFBs with response dates ranging from early March through late July 2026. The code's nominal scope—non-GMO apricots—does not match the actual state and local food-service procurement practice documented here, which emphasizes high-volume commodity fruits and vegetables for school lunch programs rather than specialty stone fruits. If bonny apricots are procured by state and local entities, they are not appearing in recent competitive opportunities under this code.
