UNSPSC 50531604: Dried non GMO black apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO black apricots 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 50531604 Dried non-GMO black apricots, a Commodity code, does not appear in the recent state and local contract opportunities indexed in this dataset. The code's narrow scope — a single dried fruit product category — contrasts sharply with the procurement activity visible across the opportunities reviewed, which center on broad grocery, produce, and food service contracts spanning hundreds of line items rather than individual commodities.

The indexed recent opportunities show substantial activity in adjacent food supply categories: school districts and county purchasing offices solicit master grocery contracts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Bulloch County Schools, Meriden Public Schools), fresh produce procurement (Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Georgia state operations), meal preparation and delivery services (Hillsborough County, City of Dallas), and comprehensive food supply distribution (Douglas County, Texas Health and Human Services Commission). These solicitations span Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs and senior meal services driving the largest contract values. None of these opportunities explicitly itemize dried non-GMO black apricots as a line item, and the dataset contains no standalone commodity-level RFPs or IFBs targeting single dried fruit products. If vendors in this niche are pursuing state and local procurement channels, they are more likely selling through broader food service distributor RFPs or cooperative purchasing frameworks than securing dedicated commodity-level awards.
