UNSPSC 50531564: Dried non GMO pink lady apples

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO pink lady 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 50531564 Dried non-GMO Pink Lady apples, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The six most-recent opportunities tagged to this code span fresh produce, bulk grocery items for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and packaged meal boxes—none of which center on or specifically reference dried non-GMO Pink Lady apples as a line item. The City of Bridgeport's June 2026 bid for over 1,100 grocery line items, the Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce solicitation across 200+ items including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz), the Texas HHSC food and consumable products contract, and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District's packaged meal-box procurement all treat fresh or processed produce as components of broader food-service buys rather than as dried apple products. The code shows no relevant recent state or local activity.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent opportunities suggests either a tagging error in the source data or minimal current procurement demand for dried non-GMO Pink Lady apples as a distinct line item in state and local nutrition programs. School districts, county nutrition services, and state food-service operations are actively sourcing fresh produce, frozen vegetables, bulk grocery items, and meal-preparation services, but none of the recent solicitations name dried or specialty apple products. Pursue opportunities in fresher produce categories or broader food-service aggregations if your firm supplies dried apple products; do not expect significant activity under this specific Commodity code based on recent posting patterns.
