UNSPSC 50521624: Non GMO imperial apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO imperial 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 50521624 Non GMO imperial apricots (Commodity) shows limited recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The available opportunities tag fresh produce solicitations under this code, but the work actually being solicited centers on institutional food service for K–12 school nutrition programs—bananas, apples, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, and eggs for student meals and snack programs—rather than apricots or commodity-specific produce. School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, and Florida are the primary issuing bodies, with no clear repeat activity under this specific commodity code.

The recent opportunities on file are distributed across multiple Georgia school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, Douglas County), Texas districts (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Most solicitations are framed as RFPs, RFBs, IFBs, or ITBs for annual or multi-year produce supply contracts supporting National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, with response dates clustered between March and July 2026. Examples include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education's IFB for produce and food products (due April 29, 2026), and Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally-grown produce within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026). Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, traceability documentation, and commodity pricing benchmarked to USDA market indices appear consistently across these opportunities. The code presents limited specific activity for apricots; pursue this category only if your firm supplies mixed fresh produce to school districts or can source non-GMO specialty fruits as part of broader institutional food service contracts.
