UNSPSC 50531627: Dried non GMO kandy kot apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO kandy kot 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 50531627 Dried non-GMO kandy kot apricots is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service supply contracts for schools, senior-meal programs, and institutional cafeteria operations. Recent solicitations show this code being applied to school nutrition programs and state facility food supply contracts where dried fruit falls within a larger line-item roster spanning produce, proteins, condiments, and prepared items. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District) and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for the El Paso State Supported Living Center), with one county government procurement (Hillsborough County for senior meals). Vendors typically compete on firm fixed pricing, compliance with Buy American agricultural-content thresholds (51 percent domestic minimum in processed goods), nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act or equivalent state frameworks, and ability to deliver via institutional ordering systems such as LINQ School Solutions.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' June 2026 grocery-items IFB for the Board of Education (1,100+ line items including dried and fresh produce, due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (historical value $1.5 million annually, due July 13, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 fresh-produce IFB for the 2026–27 school year (over 200 line items, due June 26, 2026). School districts typically structure contracts as annual or multi-year agreements with delivery to central warehouses and satellite school sites, blind-product testing, and insurance and documentation requirements including HACCP plans, product formulation statements, and state health inspection records.
