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 is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single fresh-fruit product line, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span a much broader fresh-produce procurement landscape. The code shows little focused activity tied specifically to cluthasun apricots; instead, solicitations use it as a catch-all tag for diverse food-service and nutrition-program produce purchases that include bananas, fresh fruits and vegetables, mixed produce lines, and seasonal items. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county governments procuring through their food and nutrition programs — Collier County Parks and Recreation (water park concessions), Marion Health Care Coalition, Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County Schools, and Early County Board of Education appear in the recent record. The State of Georgia also appears as a buyer of food supplies and kitchen products. These jurisdictions are purchasing fresh produce to support school breakfast and lunch programs, regional park food services, and health-care-coalition operational needs, with a consistent emphasis on HACCP compliance, Buy American or local-sourcing preferences where applicable, quality standards, and delivery logistics to fixed school or facility locations.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Wisconsin. Madison Metropolitan School District issued separate bids in July 2026 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value, RFB 4162 due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under its USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (RFB 4163, same due date, requiring produce sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin delivery). Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) released an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce, July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027, sealed bids due June 26, 2026, with Buy American provisions and delivery to three school sites. Bartow County Schools (Georgia) solicited local fresh fruits and vegetables (within 400 miles) via RFP 10-2026-019, proposals due June 22, 2026, contract term July 20, 2026–June 30, 2027 with renewal options. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) bid food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, bids due June 8, 2026. Collier County Parks and Recreation issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (posted October 8, 2026, proposals due March 6, 2025), reflecting ongoing concession-operations procurement beyond school settings. The code shows no standout pattern tied to the specific product (non-GMO cluthasun apricots) and does not reflect concentrated repeat ordering of that line item; the opportunities suggest the code is being applied loosely to general fresh-produce food-service procurement across nutrition and park operations.
