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 (Commodity) shows minimal recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally designates a specific specialty fruit variety, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code predominantly solicit general fresh produce — bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and mixed fresh fruit and vegetable bundles for school nutrition programs — rather than non-GMO apricots in particular. Madison Metropolitan School District solicited petite bananas under RFB 4162 (due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under RFB 4163 (due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce line items spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, and vegetables (due June 26, 2026); and Bartow County School System sought local fresh fruits and vegetables under RFP 10-2026-019 (due June 22, 2026). The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts across Georgia, Florida, and Texas, with one state-level solicitation from Georgia. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast — Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Douglas County cooperating districts, and Savannah-Chatham County) and Florida (Hillsborough County) — with additional activity in Texas (McAllen and Austin ISDs) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan). The code does not support a discrete category of non-GMO dina apricots or similar specialty apricot procurement at the state and local level; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent solicitation activity suggests either miscoding of opportunities or that this particular specialty produce variety does not drive material procurement volume in state and local school nutrition programs currently.
