UNSPSC 50531634: Dried non GMO moorpark apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO moorpark 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 50531634 Dried non GMO moorpark apricots, a Commodity code, describes specialty dried fruit items that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service contracts. Recent solicitations show that this code sits within much broader food and consumable procurement activities — state and local issuing bodies are buying dried apricots as line items within comprehensive grocery and produce packages, rather than as standalone purchases. The Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products bid for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, and Hancock County Schools' fresh produce solicitation all represent the institutional nutrition ecosystem where dried non-GMO apricots would be sourced. School districts and state health and human services agencies dominate recent activity, buying through competitive sealed bids and IFBs with firm fixed pricing and Buy American compliance requirements mandating 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education) posted IFB BNB052266 for grocery items on June 30, 2026, with electronic bids due the same day through OpenGov e-Procurement, requiring compliance with National School Lunch Program Buy American provisions and nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, with proposals due July 13, 2026, covering food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning 200 line items across multiple varieties with three-location delivery through June 2027. All three solicitations enforce domestic-content sourcing, price firmness, and payment cycles of 30–45 days, signaling predictable procurement rhythms tied to school-year calendars and state nutrition funding cycles.
