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, a Commodity code, spans specialized fresh fruit procurement by state and local agencies. The recent solicitations show state and local governments buying fresh produce—including fruits, vegetables, and specialty items—for school nutrition programs, regional parks, healthcare coalitions, and county food services. State and local bodies procure both individual commodity lines (such as petite bananas at a specified ripeness stage and case count) and broader fresh-produce portfolios with multiple line items and seasonal variety. 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 government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), county healthcare systems (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state departments (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity, typically issuing RFB or IFB notices for school nutrition program procurement tied to federal meal programs (National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program).

Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Southeast and Midwest. Recent solicitations are posted from Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, State of Georgia), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Collier County), with Florida posting the most recent opportunity as of October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB for 2026-27 (200+ line items of apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits; bids due June 26, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly; bids due July 29, 2026; estimated annual contract value $78,000), and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026). Collier County's ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services (posted October 8, 2026) includes fresh food and beverage concession services but does not isolate produce as a standalone line item. State and local buyers increasingly weight local sourcing, organic certification, geographic preference, and traceability documentation in evaluation; school districts enforce Buy American provisions and USDA whole-grain and nutrition standards for bread and dairy components.
