UNSPSC 50521626: Non GMO jumbo cot apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO jumbo cot 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 50521626 Non GMO jumbo cot apricots is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity records do not substantiate actual buying of apricots; instead, solicitations tagged under this code cover fresh produce procurement across diverse fruit and vegetable categories for school nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code's specific name and the actual solicitation content—which encompasses bananas, citrus, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and prepared produce items—signals either miscoding in the source systems or a data management issue at the issuing bodies. State and local governments do procure fresh fruit and vegetable supplies through school nutrition and child nutrition programs, but the available records show no discrete buying activity for non-GMO jumbo apricots specifically.

The recent opportunities in this dataset span school districts and a cooperative purchasing vehicle across Georgia, Texas, and Florida, including Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 for petite bananas and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items), Bartow County School System (RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables), Douglas County School System (RFP for 72 produce line items through the GEC Buying Cooperative), Hillsborough County Public Schools (RFP for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty produce), and Glynn County Board of Education (IFB for 60 produce items). Given the absence of apricot-specific solicitations and the code's apparent misalignment with actual procurement, practitioners should verify coding accuracy with state and local procurement offices before pursuing activity under this category.
