UNSPSC 50521634: Non GMO moorpark apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO moorpark 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 50521634 Non GMO moorpark apricots is a Commodity code. State and local school nutrition programs actually procure fresh fruit and vegetables for student meal programs under this code, though the recent opportunities block shows little activity specifically targeting moorpark apricots or non-GMO fruit varieties by name. The code sees scattered activity among school districts and school nutrition departments, which are the primary issuing bodies sourcing fresh produce. Solicitations under this family of codes stress compliance with USDA food safety standards, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, and domestic agricultural preferences. Work involves weekly or twice-weekly delivery of produce in specified case packs or unit quantities to multiple school sites, with vendors competing on price, product quality, fill rates, and service reliability.

School districts across Georgia and Texas dominate the recent procurement landscape, including Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026; RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB for fresh produce, due June 26, 2026), Bulloch County School District (RFP for locally grown produce including citrus and apples, due May 4, 2026), Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages, due March 11, 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million, due March 4, 2026). The code shows concentrated activity in the Southeast—Georgia particularly—and Texas, where school nutrition programs collectively represent high-volume institutional buyers. No recent opportunities in the source specifically name moorpark apricots or non-GMO certification as procurement criteria; instead, districts solicit broad fresh fruit categories (apples, bananas, berries, melons, citrus) with emphasis on sourcing within geographic radii (typically 400 miles or within-state) and compliance with domestic content and food safety mandates.
