UNSPSC 50531568: Dried non GMO prime gold apples

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO prime gold 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 50531568 Dried non-GMO prime gold apples is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source data. The sourced opportunities span fresh produce (apples across multiple varieties including Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Ambrosia, and Honey Crisp), packaged meals, comprehensive grocery supply, meal delivery services, and food service distribution—but no solicitations specifically name dried apples or dried non-GMO prime gold apples as line items. While fresh apple varieties appear frequently across school nutrition bids and state supported living center requests, the code's specific focus on dried non-GMO prime gold apples does not match the commodity mix in recent postings.

State and local procurement for fresh produce and food service operates across school districts, county education systems, state departments, and municipal entities. School districts dominate the recent activity—Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), Douglas County Schools (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier Schools (Mississippi), and Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut)—alongside state-level procurement from Georgia and Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Representative opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, covering over 1,100 line items across breakfast, produce, dairy, and meat); Hancock County's fresh produce IFB for 2026-27 (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026, spanning 200+ items including multiple apple varieties with delivery to three school sites); Meriden Public Schools' RFP for commercial groceries and USDA Foods (RFP02641, due February 25, 2026, with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3.1 million); and Douglas County Schools' cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas. The code shows no relevant recent activity for pursuit.
