UNSPSC 50521632: Non GMO lulu belle apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO lulu belle 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 50521632 Non GMO lulu belle apricots, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains seventeen school district and county school system food service solicitations, all of which seek fresh produce, beverages, eggs, or food products for child nutrition programs. None of the posted opportunities specifically solicits non-GMO lulu belle apricots or any comparable specialty produce item by name; the opportunities instead use open-ended produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, citrus fruits, and generic "fresh produce" line items with estimated quantities and case-pack specifications) that do not target a single cultivar or non-GMO designation. The code does not map to the work actually being purchased.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida are actively procuring fresh produce for National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs with response dates ranging from March through July 2026. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000), Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce line items (bids due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs to 30 school districts (estimated annual spending $4.4 to $1.1 million by area, proposals due March 4, 2026). However, none of these solicitations reference non-GMO sourcing requirements, lulu belle apricots, or specialty apricot procurement. The code appears misaligned with actual state and local buying activity in the recent-opportunities dataset.
