UNSPSC 50531586: Dried non GMO summer rambo apples

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO summer rambo 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 50531586 Dried non-GMO summer rambo apples is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with the specific product. The source contains fourteen recent solicitations spanning school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts issued by school districts, county boards of education, state health agencies, and municipal governments across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas between January and June 2026. However, none of these opportunities explicitly call for dried non-GMO summer rambo apples; the solicitations instead request comprehensive grocery procurement, fresh produce (naming specific apple varieties including Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, and Honey Crisp but not summer rambo apples), processed foods, meal preparation services, and USDA commodity distribution. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement patterns suggests limited current market activity for this specific product line under this UNSPSC designation.

Representative opportunities in the broader fresh produce and grocery category include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Board of Education's Food and Nutrition Services (due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 (proposals due July 11, 2026 with a historical annual value of $1.5 million), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). School districts and institutional buyers dominate this code's activity, with all contracts requiring Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing, and weekly or multi-frequency deliveries. If dried non-GMO summer rambo apples are part of broader grocery or produce supply agreements, vendors should monitor school nutrition RFPs and IFBs in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, and Texas, but the commodity code as tagged does not currently reflect active procurement demand for this specific product variant.
