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 is a Commodity code that has generated minimal recent procurement activity aligned with its specific product scope. The code nominally addresses non-GMO apricot sourcing, yet the recent state and local opportunities block contains no solicitations for apricots—neither GMO-status-specified nor otherwise. The available records instead document school nutrition departments and districts across multiple states soliciting fresh produce contracts under broader commodity categories: fresh fruits and vegetables generically, petite bananas, mixed fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and comprehensive annual produce supply agreements spanning dozens of line items. These procurements span bananas, berries, apples, citrus, melons, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and eggs, but do not identify apricots as a commodity being actively sought. The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and boards of education—Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Douglas County School System, and Hillsborough County Public Schools. A single state entity, the State of Georgia, posted a generic food supplies RFP with no scope detail provided.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, Douglas County) and extends to Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), and includes a statewide Georgia procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (bids due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (bids due July 29, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000); and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026). The code shows no current market demand for non-GMO apricots specifically within state and local procurement channels.
