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, a Commodity code, names a specific fruit product, but recent state and local solicitations show little activity aligned with this narrow scope. The single opportunity post under this code—a Collier County Board of County Commissioners Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park issued October 8, 2026—covers broad concession operations across multiple venues and does not specify jumbo cot apricots or other individual produce items. The remaining five opportunities in the dataset address general fresh produce procurement by school nutrition programs and a county health coalition, spanning items from petite bananas to leafy greens and root vegetables, but none target non-GMO jumbo cot apricots as a line item.

The geographic footprint of recent activity spans Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Early County Schools, and the State of Georgia) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with one opportunity in Florida (Collier County). School districts and county education boards dominate the issuing-body mix, supplemented by a county parks department and Marion Health Care Coalition. Purchasing patterns emphasize fresh produce sourcing within geographic radii (often 400 miles of the school system), compliance with USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program requirements, Buy American provisions, local-vendor preferences where applicable, and HACCP documentation. The code shows insufficient recent volume to support a specialized pursuit strategy; vendors treating this code as a entry point into state and local school nutrition procurement should focus instead on broader fresh-produce family codes or cultivate direct relationships with individual districts procuring multiple fruit and vegetable items in line-by-line format.
