UNSPSC 50531593: Dried non GMO white transparent apples

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO white transparent 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 50531593 Dried non-GMO white transparent apples, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity shown in the recent opportunities block. The solicitations posted under or near this code describe comprehensive school nutrition and senior meal programs that encompass fresh produce, frozen and canned goods, dairy, proteins, beverages, and prepared meals — but none specifically reference dried apples or focus on dried fruit as a procurement category. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners have all posted RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs for broad-based grocery and fresh-produce supply since January 2026, but these solicitations emphasize fresh fruit varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp apples) and processed items rather than specialty dried products. School districts in Georgia, Connecticut, and Mississippi have similarly focused on fresh-produce contracts with line items for apples by variety and standard canned or frozen preparations. The few opportunities that mention dried goods do so only as incidental line items within much larger fresh-produce or comprehensive grocery scopes.

State and local procurement under this code shows no recent, material activity. The available opportunities do not reference dried non-GMO white transparent apples, and the broader fresh-produce solicitations from school nutrition programs and senior meal services across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas prioritize fresh apples over dried variants. Unless specific procurement records exist outside this dataset showing demand for this specialty commodity, the code presents minimal near-term pursuit opportunity for suppliers focused on dried apple products targeting state and local agencies.
