UNSPSC 50521645: Non GMO royal apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO royal 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 50521645 Non GMO royal apricots is a Commodity code. The recent opportunities attached to this code do not procure apricots—they solicit fresh produce broadly for school nutrition programs, with no specific apricot line items visible in the representative opportunities. The source material shows activity centered on petite bananas, mixed fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, comprehensive produce portfolios spanning apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and eggs, but no evidence of non-GMO royal apricot procurement. This code does not reflect current state and local buying activity.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida are the dominant issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block, with individual district procurement offices and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative) managing fruit and vegetable supply contracts for school nutrition programs. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas under RFB 4162 (due July 29, 2026), with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000; Hancock County Board of Education issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce (sealed bids due June 26, 2026); Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas (due March 4, 2026), with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; and Austin Independent School District soliciting fresh produce and a la carte beverages through RFP 26RFP034 (due March 11, 2026). These contracts typically feature weekly deliveries, HACCP certification requirements, Buy American provisions, $1 million minimum liability insurance, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a line-item basis across single or multiple vendors. The code shows no relevant recent activity and should not be pursued based on current state and local procurement signals.
