UNSPSC 50531619: Dried non GMO goldbar apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO goldbar 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 50531619 Dried non GMO goldbar apricots is a Commodity code that identifies a single specialty dried fruit product, but the recent state and local contract opportunities show no solicitations explicitly requesting this item. Instead, the opportunities cluster around comprehensive grocery and fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. State and local governments buying under codes in this family are sourcing bulk dried fruits as incidental line items within larger food service contracts rather than as standalone purchases of specialty apricot varieties.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, and Douglas County School System—along with county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and city procurement departments (Dallas, Meriden, Connecticut). Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, and Mississippi. Representative opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program (due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual value of $9 million (due February 18, 2026). The code itself does not appear as a primary procurement target in current state and local solicitations; opportunities tagged to this code or nearby commodity codes focus on fresh produce, eggs, and main-line grocery distribution rather than specialty dried fruits.
