UNSPSC 50521612: Non GMO dina apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO dina 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 50521612 Non GMO dina apricots is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under recent state and local opportunities. Recent procurement activity tagged to this code covers fresh-produce supply and food-service concessions across multiple fresh fruits and vegetables — including petite bananas, apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, and assorted fresh-cut snacks — rather than any specific product matching the code's nominal description. Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county park systems (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), health-care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity, with most solicitations tied to the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operating across fiscal-year cycles. Vendors must comply with food-safety regulations including HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, debarment certification, and Buy American provisions where specified; several solicitations impose locational requirements (produce sourced within 400 miles or within-state sourcing) and offer small-business or diverse-owned-business evaluation preferences.

The recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin. Georgia school districts and county systems have posted multiple fresh-produce solicitations for the 2026-2027 school year (Hancock County with bids due June 26, 2026; Bartow County with proposals due June 22, 2026; Early County with bids due June 8, 2026), while Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin solicited both petite bananas (RFB 4162, bids due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, bids due July 29, 2026) under USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding. Collier County, Florida is soliciting food-services concessions for North Collier Regional Park via ITN with proposals due March 6, 2025, emphasizing menu variety, food safety, and local-vendor preference (10 evaluation points). The code shows little relevant recent activity directly aligned to non-GMO apricots or other specific dried-fruit sourcing; procurement activity centers on fresh produce, fresh-cut ready-to-eat snacks, and full food-service operations rather than commodity dried fruits.
