UNSPSC 50521630: Non GMO lambertin apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO lambertin 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 50521630 Non GMO lambertin apricots is a Commodity code. State and local governments purchase fresh fruit under this code to support school nutrition programs, with recent solicitations showing that school districts source fresh apricots alongside broader produce portfolios for child nutrition compliance. However, the recent-opportunities block contains no specific solicitations for non-GMO lambertin apricots; instead, the posted opportunities span petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, mixed fresh produce, and comprehensive produce line items that include apples, berries, citrus, stone fruits, and vegetables but do not isolate specialty apple varieties, heritage apple cultivars, or apricot sourcing as distinct line items.

The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and boards of education spanning Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with the highest concentration of activity in Georgia school districts including 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, and Douglas County School System. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with apple varieties prominently featured (bids due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts, estimated at $4.4 million to $1.1 million by geographic area (proposals due March 4, 2026). The code shows no recent activity specific to non-GMO lambertin apricots as a standalone procurement line; vendors pursuing state and local opportunities under this code face a mismatch between the nominal commodity definition and the actual scope of recent school nutrition purchasing, which treats apricots, when purchased, as part of undifferentiated fresh fruit categories rather than as a distinct varietal specification.
