UNSPSC 50531546: Dried non GMO jonamac apples

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO jonamac 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 50531546 Dried non GMO jonamac apples (Commodity) does not appear in state and local procurement solicitations with meaningful recent activity. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code show substantial procurement activity in school nutrition, senior meals, and institutional food service—but the specific product solicitations name fresh produce (apples in multiple varieties, berries, root vegetables, and leafy greens), packaged meal boxes, and general grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items. Fresh produce RFBs from Hancock County Board of Education and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District reference apple varieties by name (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) but do not isolate dried jonamac apples as a line item.

The Commodity code appears to be a mismatch with the actual procurement scope being addressed. State and local buyers in the sample are executing large multi-item food service contracts—the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery procurement (RFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's institutional food supply (IFB HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026), and Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery (ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026, valued at $17.8 million over three years)—but none isolate dried non-GMO jonamac apples as a distinct procurement line. School districts and state agencies buying fresh produce and food service items in 2026 are sourcing broadly across multiple produce categories and processed foods under Buy American and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance requirements, with pricing firm for the contract term and delivery to central warehouses and school sites. The code shows no evidence of standalone demand for this specific dried-apple commodity.
