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 is a Commodity code covering fresh fruit procurement by state and local government food-service operations. However, the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for apricots or even close commodity matches. The posted opportunities target broader produce categories — petite bananas (Madison Metropolitan School District), fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (Madison Metropolitan School District), mixed fresh produce spanning apples, berries, vegetables, and citrus (Hancock County Board of Education and Bartow County School System), and general food supplies including produce (State of Georgia and Early County Board of Education). Food-service buyers include school districts, county park concession operations, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices. The geographic activity spans Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Collier County), with a statewide Georgia procurement from the State agency itself.

School districts dominate recent activity under this code family, posting RFBs and RFPs for produce procurement tied to USDA meal-program funding and school-year contracts.
