UNSPSC 50531633: Dried non GMO modesto apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO modesto 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 50531633 Dried non-GMO Modesto apricots (Commodity) covers a narrowly specific dried-fruit product line that state and local governments purchase as part of broader school nutrition and institutional food-service programs, not as standalone line items. The recent opportunities record shows that this code is applied inconsistently and appears rarely in actual state and local solicitations; the six recent opportunities posted between April and June 2026 frame dried apricots as one component among hundreds of food line items spanning produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and snacks rather than as a distinct procurement focus.

Geographic and institutional spread across recent opportunities is wide but fragmented. The Commodity code appears in solicitations from the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Board of Education, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, the State of Georgia, and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi. School districts and county-level nutrition programs are the primary issuing bodies; state-level facilities (such as the Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center) and senior meal-delivery programs also purchase under the code. Representative recent solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026, which incorporated dried-fruit specifications alongside fresh produce and proteins as part of the National School Lunch Program; Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 items due June 26, 2026; and the Hillsborough County senior meal-delivery ITB valued at $17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026. All school-based solicitations enforce Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content) and compliance with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, with blind testing of samples and firm-fixed pricing throughout contract terms.
