UNSPSC 50531614: Dried non GMO earliman apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO earliman 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 50531614 Dried non-GMO earliman apricots is a Commodity code for a specific dried fruit product that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition and institutional food-service contracts. However, the recent solicitations tagged under this code show minimal direct activity for dried apricots specifically; the opportunities posted instead span broad grocery and fresh-produce categories that may incidentally include dried fruit as a line item among hundreds of others. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery-items solicitation (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) lists over 1,100 line items across breakfast cereals, baked goods, frozen products, and fresh fruits and vegetables under the National School Lunch Program, subject to Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's solicitation for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) covers institutional meal service with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. A third opportunity from Hancock County Board of Education (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB, due June 26, 2026) focuses on fresh produce across 200+ line items for school nutrition, and a fourth from Pascagoula-Gautier School District (3170035565, due April 29, 2026) requested packaged 7-day meal boxes for the Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and education boards, with one state-level health and human services agency represented.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with recent solicitations from Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida school districts and counties. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' senior-meals procurement (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026) represents the largest opportunity at an estimated $17.8 million over three years and shows demand for meal preparation and delivery infrastructure in institutional settings, though it centers on prepared meals rather than dried fruit inputs. The State of Georgia's broad food-supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) offers no itemized detail in the posted summary. Dried apricots as a discrete commodity line appear in none of the recent opportunity summaries; the code likely captures this product as one ingredient or item among much larger food-service and nutrition contracts where purchasing is consolidated and driven by bulk procurement needs, Buy American compliance, nutrition standards, and multi-location delivery logistics rather than by ingredient specificity.
