UNSPSC 50521638: Non GMO perfection apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO perfection 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 50521638 Non GMO perfection apricots (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a single branded specialty fruit variety—does not align with the state and local purchasing patterns in the recent opportunities block. The most recent solicitations under this code tag (posted July 2026 through February 2026) focus on broad fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, not apricots specifically. Madison Metropolitan School District solicited petite bananas; Hancock County Schools requested over 200 fresh produce line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and citrus; and Bartow County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, and multiple other Georgia and Texas school districts procured comprehensive fresh-produce portfolios across fruits and vegetables. None of the recent opportunities identify apricots as a line item, and the single banana RFB posted July 8, 2026, and the broader fresh fruit and vegetable RFB posted the same day by Madison Metropolitan School District underscore that state and local procurement at this code level targets multiple produce categories as institutional food service needs drive demand.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school nutrition programs across Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, Douglas County in Georgia; McAllen ISD and Austin ISD in Texas; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida). These procure produce through RFP, RFQ, RFB, and IFB notices with response dates typically 30 to 60 days from posting. The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas and Florida. Because the code targets a single branded product variant rather than a commodity family, and because none of the tagged opportunities actually solicit apricots, the code should be treated as inactive for practical business development purposes; pursuit should wait for documented apricot demand from specific districts.
