UNSPSC 50521647: Non GMO royal orange apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO royal orange 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 50521647 Non GMO royal orange apricots is a Commodity code that names a specific fresh-fruit product line, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows limited direct alignment with the specific variety named. The opportunities posted under this code reflect a broader food-service and school-nutrition environment in which apricots and other fresh fruits are procured as part of larger produce contracts, rather than as standalone line items. State and local governments buying under this code purchase fresh produce for school food-service operations, regional parks and recreation facilities, healthcare coalition meal programs, and other institutional food services, typically bundling individual fruit items into comprehensive produce specifications that may or may not itemize apricots separately.

The issuing bodies soliciting produce across the recent posting set include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county-level parks and recreation departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state agriculture procurement offices (State of Georgia). Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast, particularly Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County) and Florida (Collier County), with additional recent activity in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District). Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce covering the 2026-27 school year with over 200 line items and delivery to three school sites (due June 26, 2026); the Madison Metropolitan School District RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Wisconsin, procuring approximately 5,900 servings weekly for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program participation (due July 29, 2026); and the Bartow County School System RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles, with contract term July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options (due June 22, 2026).
