UNSPSC 50521642: Non GMO riland apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO riland 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 50521642 Non GMO Riland Apricots, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh apricot supply to state and local institutions—principally school districts and healthcare facilities—where the product appears as a line item within broader fresh-produce procurements rather than as a standalone commodity. Recent opportunities show school districts and county agencies soliciting fresh fruit and vegetable supply through RFPs, RFBs, and ITNs that list apricots among dozens of produce line items. The work involves meeting district-specified ripeness, size, and delivery standards, complying with food-safety protocols (HACCP plans, recall procedures), maintaining cold-chain integrity through delivery, and pricing competitively against competing produce vendors. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county parks departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state agencies (State of Georgia). Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Wisconsin, with the largest cluster of school-district produce solicitations in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan).

Recent representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, requiring Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles and emphasizing local and diverse-owned vendor preferences; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, and specialty fruits for delivery to three school locations; and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables due June 22, 2026, requiring 400-mile sourcing and seasonal availability documentation. Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 bid similarly encompasses approximately 300+ food items including fruits. These school-district procurements emphasize Buy American content, domestic sourcing preferences, HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing for the contract period (typically July through June), and delivery to central warehouses or multiple school sites between early-morning hours. Apricots appear as one line item among many in these broad-scope food solicitations, competing against substitute fresh fruits; standalone apricot-only buys are not evident in recent state and local records.
