UNSPSC 50521615: Non GMO early bright apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO early bright 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 50521615 Non GMO early bright apricots, a Commodity code, represents fresh produce procurement by state and local education and food-service entities. Recent state and local solicitations show school districts, county parks departments, and health coalitions purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables as components of broader food service contracts rather than as standalone apricot procurements. The code captures individual produce line items within larger food-service acquisitions, including fresh produce delivered to school nutrition programs, regional parks concession operations, and health care facilities. State and local buyers emphasize compliance with food safety regulations (HACCP plans and E-Verify), traceability documentation (farm of origin), delivery logistics tied to operational sites and time windows, and pricing structures that often include fuel and transportation. Many jurisdictions apply geographic sourcing preferences (produce within 400 miles), local-vendor preferences, and diverse-owned business set-asides or evaluation weights.

Recent opportunities span Georgia and Wisconsin school districts, Collier County Parks (Florida), Marion Health Care Coalition, and the State of Georgia. Madison Metropolitan School District issued separate RFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, response due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Wisconsin (5,900 servings weekly, response due July 29, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited bids on over 200 fresh produce line items for the 2026-27 school year (IFB, response due June 26, 2026), and Bartow County School System (Georgia) requested proposals for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP, response due June 22, 2026, with contract award anticipated July 20, 2026). Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued line-by-line food bids encompassing produce and protein items (response due June 8, 2026). Collier County Parks issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park including concession facilities (response due March 6, 2025). The code shows active procurement across education and parks sectors in the Southeast and upper Midwest, with Wisconsin and Georgia representing the most recent solicitation activity.
