UNSPSC 50521610: Non GMO cluthasun apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO clutha sun 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 50521610 Non GMO cluthasun apricots (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty stone fruit—does not align with the contract opportunities posted under this identifier. The recent opportunities tagged to this code solicit fresh produce for school nutrition programs, but they consistently target commodity items such as bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, eggs, and leafy greens rather than the non-GMO apricot variety specified in the code name. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with bids and RFPs posted by Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), and Austin Independent School District (Texas), alongside the State of Georgia. Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia and extends to Wisconsin and Texas, reflecting where school nutrition programs have issued recent solicitations.

The mismatch between code designation and actual procurement signals either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that non-GMO cluthasun apricots rarely appear as a distinct line item in institutional food service contracts. When apricots do appear in the recent opportunities, they are absorbed into broader fresh-fruit or specialty-produce categories rather than specified as a standalone commodity. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether opportunities are genuinely available for this fruit variety or whether the code is rarely used in practice; current evidence suggests the latter. Activity posted since February 2026 reflects school districts' routine annual procurement cycles for food service, with most contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and response dates concentrated in late March through late June 2026.
