UNSPSC 50521651: Non GMO tracy apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO tracy 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 50521651 Non GMO tracy apricots (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity. State and local school nutrition programs soliciting under or near this code are predominantly purchasing broad fresh produce categories—apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, and leafy greens—rather than specific apricot varieties. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual buying signals in the recent-opportunities dataset, which centers on institutional food service procurement for school districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida serving National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs.

The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and school nutrition programs: Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System operating through cooperative purchasing (GEC Buying Cooperative). These districts procure fresh produce under standing annual or multi-year contracts with responses due between late February and late July 2026, typically via RFP or IFB with awards to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis. Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia (Hancock, Bartow, Early, Bulloch, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn, Douglas Counties) with activity also in Texas (McAllen, Austin) and Florida (Hillsborough). Procurement values range from estimated $78,000 annually (Madison bananas contract) to $5.5 million (Douglas County produce cooperative across 30 districts). The code itself does not surface as a tagged category in these opportunities; apricots are mentioned only generically within broader produce line items, suggesting the commodity-level code has limited utility for business development targeting state and local school nutrition procurement.
