UNSPSC 50521640: Non GMO poppycot apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO poppycot 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 50521640 Non GMO poppycot apricots, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. The code's name refers to a specialized fruit product, but the recent opportunities dataset contains no solicitations for apricots or closely related specialty dried fruits. Instead, the posted opportunities span school nutrition programs procuring fresh produce broadly—fresh fruits (bananas, apples, berries, citrus, melons, stone fruits), fresh vegetables (broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens), and prepared produce items—under cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct school district bids. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (non-GMO apricots) and what state and local governments are actually buying in recent postings suggests the code does not currently reflect active procurement demand in the state and local market.

School districts dominate issuing activity under produce-related codes, with posting concentration in Georgia (Douglas County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County) and Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), followed by Florida (Hillsborough County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and scattered activity elsewhere. 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 with 200+ line items spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, vegetables, and specialty items (sealed bids due June 26, 2026), Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 for fresh produce to 16 schools (bids due April 14, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026). Vendors pursuing commodity-level fruit categories should monitor family-tier and class-tier codes that capture the broader fresh produce market; apricots, whether fresh or specialty dried, do not appear in current state and local solicitation activity.
