UNSPSC 50531609: Dried non GMO clutha gold apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO clutha gold 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 50531609 Dried non-GMO Clutha Gold apricots is a Commodity code that sees no active state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific product definition. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span school nutrition grocery bids, fresh produce contracts, senior meal delivery services, and institutional food service—none of which identify dried apricots or any specific dried-fruit line items as discrete procurement targets. The code's nominal scope—a single varietal of dried apricot—does not match the broad, multi-category food-service solicitations that carry the UNSPSC tag in the dataset. State and local agencies soliciting under related food commodity codes are buying comprehensive grocery assortments, fresh produce bundles, and integrated meal services, not individual dried-fruit SKUs. No recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB for dried apricots appears in the source.

The mismatch between the Commodity code and actual procurement activity suggests that state and local procurement systems are applying this code either as a fallback tag for broad food categories or as a legacy classification that does not reflect current buying patterns. A business development professional pursuing this code would find no actionable recent opportunities and should monitor whether state and local nutrition programs begin itemizing dried fruits as standalone contract line items. The recent activity—Bridgeport Board of Education (BNB052266), Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce IFB with response due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools (Master Grocery K-12 IFB, response due April 27, 2026), and Meriden Public Schools (RFP026-41, response due February 25, 2026)—all aggregate food procurement across dozens or hundreds of items rather than sourcing specialty dried fruits as discrete products. Geographic spread covers Connecticut, Georgia, Virginia, and Texas, but without visible procurement demand specific to dried apricots or similar commodities at the Commodity-code level.
