UNSPSC 50531617: Dried non GMO fresno apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO fresno 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 50531617 Dried non-GMO Fresno apricots, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The sixteen opportunities in the dataset span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas, but none specifically solicit dried apricots or identify this product as a line item or deliverable. The recent solicitations target comprehensive grocery supply (Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools), fresh produce and eggs (Douglas County School System, Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), prepared meals (Hillsborough County senior services, City of Dallas catering), and broad food service distribution (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Bulloch County Board of Education). While some opportunities reference fruit categories or dried goods generically, none name dried apricots or this specific variety as a procurement target.

School districts and county education authorities dominate the issuing bodies, with supplementary activity from state agencies and county commissions. Opportunities posted between January and June 2026 show sustained demand for K-12 school nutrition supply contracts and fresh-produce-focused procurements, but no segment addresses specialty dried fruits at the commodity level. State and local buyers appear to source dried fruit, if at all, as undifferentiated line items within larger grocery or food-service master agreements rather than as standalone procurement vehicles. Vendors seeking to engage under this UNSPSC code would find no active bidding pathway in the recent state and local market.
