UNSPSC 50521623: Non GMO honeycot apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO honeycot 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 50521623 Non GMO honeycot apricots is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh produce for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, county parks and recreation facilities, healthcare coalitions, and other public agencies. Recent solicitations show school districts sourcing fresh fruit across multiple varieties and vendors (petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for USDA programs, comprehensive produce for school nutrition programs), county parks systems purchasing concession-stand food items including fresh produce, and healthcare entities acquiring fresh fruits and vegetables for meal preparation. The work centers on delivering produce that meets food safety and quality standards, often with traceability, farm-of-origin documentation, and compliance with HACCP protocols and health regulations.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity from Madison Metropolitan School District (RFBs for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks posted July 2026), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB for 200+ line items of fresh produce, June 2026), Early County Board of Education in Georgia (RFB for 300+ food items including fruits, June 2026), and Bartow County School System in Georgia (RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables, May 2026). County governments and special-purpose entities appear less frequently but include Collier County Board of County Commissioners (ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park, October 2026) and Marion Health Care Coalition (RFP for produce proposals, August 2026). Georgia and Wisconsin show the strongest recent activity. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce across apples, berries, citrus, melons, and root vegetables with delivery to three school sites (due June 26, 2026) and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas at 70–90 cases weekly with estimated annual value of $78,000 (due July 29, 2026).
