UNSPSC 50531584: Dried non GMO stayman apples

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO stayman 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 50531584 Dried non GMO stayman apples is a Commodity code that reflects state and local purchases of dried apples, typically as components within larger grocery or food-service supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The recent opportunities block shows no dedicated procurements for dried stayman apples alone; instead, the code appears in the context of broad food and beverage supply agreements. State and local governments issuing under related food and grocery codes span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). These jurisdictions use food solicitations to support school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional cafeteria operations, all subject to Buy American provisions, nutrition standards, and HACCP compliance.

Recent activity centers on Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB for fresh produce (Solicitation PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) itemizes over 200 produce line items including multiple apple varieties but does not specifically isolate dried apples in the summary provided. The Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases grocery solicitation (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spans over 1,100 line items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, covering cereals, baked goods, fruits, and vegetables subject to 51 percent Buy American domestic-content requirements and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center covers food and consumable products with a historical value of $1.5 million annually. The code shows minimal distinct activity; dried non-GMO stayman apples appear to be purchased as part of consolidated grocery or produce contracts rather than as isolated commodities.
