UNSPSC 50531543: Dried non GMO jersey mac apples

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO jersey mac apples that have been dried for preservation. 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 50531543 Dried non GMO jersey mac apples, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. The source contains no recent state or local solicitations specifically requesting dried non-GMO Jersey mac apples or dried apples of any variety. The fourteen recent opportunities in the dataset span fresh produce procurement (apples, berries, and mixed vegetables), comprehensive grocery supply (breakfast items, frozen goods, condiments, and dairy), senior meal preparation and delivery, boxed meal services, and school nutrition supplies. While fresh apple varieties—including Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, and Jazz—appear across multiple school district produce solicitations (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts), all explicitly request fresh produce deliveries, not dried or processed apples. The code's specific focus on dried non-GMO jersey mac apples does not align with the fresh-produce-dominant procurement landscape evident in state and local purchasing.

Geographic concentration appears in Georgia and Florida school districts, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Texas state agencies. Issuing bodies include large school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county purchasing offices (Hillsborough County, Florida). Representative opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) and the Douglas County School System fresh produce and eggs RFP (due March 4, 2026), both heavily weighted toward fresh apple varieties rather than processed products. Vendors pursuing this Commodity code should recognize that state and local procurement in the apple category currently favors fresh fruit delivery to school nutrition programs under Buy American requirements and federal food service standards, with no visible demand for dried non-GMO Jersey mac apples in the recent opportunity set.
