UNSPSC 50521625: Non GMO jordanne apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO jordanne 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 50521625 Non GMO jordanne apricots, a Commodity code, reflects fresh produce procurement by state and local education and public health agencies. The code nominally specifies a single fruit variety, yet the recent opportunities show state and local food-service buyers purchasing across broad fresh-produce categories — fruits, vegetables, specialty items, and ready-to-eat prepared snacks — for school nutrition programs, county parks, and healthcare coalogs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System) alongside county park departments (Collier County Parks and Recreation), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state agriculture procurement (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the activity, driven by USDA National School Lunch Program and Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program funding cycles tied to federal fiscal or academic calendars.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and the Midwest. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), and the State of Georgia solicitation span the Southeast; Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) and Marion Health Care Coalition (identified by context as Midwest-based) represent activity in the upper Midwest. Collier County Parks and Recreation (Florida) extends the regional spread. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, bids due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items across apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits (bids due June 26, 2026, covering July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027), Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026), and Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (proposals due March 6, 2025). Buy American or domestic-preference provisions appear in Hancock County and Early County solicitations; Wisconsin and Georgia school districts apply 400-mile sourcing or in-state locational filters; diverse-owned business certifications and local-vendor preferences are weighted evaluation factors across most school and county opportunities.
