UNSPSC 50531625: Dried non GMO jordanne apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO jordanne 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 50531625 Dried non-GMO Jordanne apricots is a Commodity code representing a single dried-fruit product line within broader school nutrition and institutional food procurement. State and local governments purchase dried apricots under this code as a component of child nutrition programs, congregate meal services, and emergency food packages — most commonly through school districts and county boards of education that procure them as part of larger grocery, produce, or food-service contracts rather than as standalone line items. The code captures a niche ingredient within the wider universe of school meal components and sits beneath broader Family and Segment codes for food products and school nutrition supplies; the recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code show no standalone dried-apricot-only solicitations, indicating that demand surfaces primarily as one among dozens or hundreds of line items in comprehensive food-service RFPs, IFBs, and RFQs.

State and local procurement activity under dried-apricot categories is concentrated among school districts and county boards of education in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with representative recent opportunities spanning Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut, IFB BNB052266, June 2026, grocery items with 1,100+ line items), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia, IFB SN002-2027, June 2026, fresh produce with 200+ line items), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia, IFB 2000004323, April 2026, master grocery K-12), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia, IFB #043025, May 2026, comprehensive food products), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia, Bid 26-34, April 2026, fresh and processed produce), and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut, RFP 02641, February 2026, commercial groceries and USDA Foods with anticipated contract value of $3.1 million). These district-level procurements establish multivendor award structures with Buy American compliance mandates, HACCP food-safety plans, nutritional labeling requirements, and firm fixed pricing over contract terms typically running July 1 through June 30. The code sees minimal standalone activity; vendors pursue it as part of broad-based school nutrition or institutional catering platforms rather than as a differentiated product category.
