UNSPSC 50531628: Dried non GMO katy apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO katy 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 50531628 Dried non-GMO Katy apricots is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity that directly matches its nominal scope. The code appears in the source as a tag on a dataset of recent opportunities spanning school nutrition, senior meal services, and institutional food supply, but none of the posted solicitations identify dried apricots as a line item or scope element. School districts, county boards of education, and state agencies are soliciting comprehensive grocery and fresh produce contracts, and while dried fruit may appear incidentally within broader produce or dried-goods categories, no issuing body has posted a solicitation centered on or explicitly naming dried apricots as a primary or standalone procurement target.

The recent opportunities in this dataset—including Fairfax County Public Schools' master grocery IFB (April 2026), Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (June 2026), Bulloch County Board of Education's school nutrition grocery bid (April 2026), and the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and food supply RFPs (January–February 2026)—establish that state and local food procurement activity is robust and spans K-12 nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, and institutional food service across Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. However, these opportunities emphasize fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), processed grocery staples, dairy, and prepared meal components; dried specialty fruits such as non-GMO Katy apricots do not appear as named line items or specification requirements in any posted solicitation in this period. If pursuing this code, monitor school district specialty dietary programs, senior nutrition services, and institutional wellness initiatives where dried or alternative fruit products may emerge, but current market signal is muted.
