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 recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The six opportunities posted between April and June 2026 span fresh produce, bulk grocery items, meal preparation and delivery services, and packaged meal boxes for school nutrition programs—none of which involve dried apples or any dried fruit products. The Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce lists over 200 line items including multiple fresh apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) but contains no dried-apple specifications. The City of Bridgeport's grocery-items solicitation for the Board of Education covers 1,100 line items spanning breakfast cereals, baked goods, frozen products, fresh fruits and vegetables, and dairy, with no mention of dried apples. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center references NIGP commodity classes but does not itemize dried-apple requirements in the available summary. The Hillsborough County senior-meals contract addresses prepared-meal delivery services, and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District solicits packaged meal boxes for summer food service. The State of Georgia's food and supplies bid (posted May 2026) lacks itemized scope detail in the posted summary.

The code shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope. When state and local procurement offices do source dried fruit products for school nutrition, senior services, or facility food operations, they typically combine multiple commodity codes within broader grocery or bulk-food families rather than executing dedicated purchases at the dried-apple commodity level. Bidders targeting dried-fruit or specialty-ingredient segments should monitor broader Family and Class codes within food procurement (such as processed fruit or bulk food items) and track opportunities from school districts, senior services agencies, and state food-service departments, which dominate the recent activity in this taxonomy space.
