UNSPSC 50531642: Dried non GMO riland apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO riland 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 50531642 Dried non-GMO riland apricots (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source records show no solicitations specifically seeking dried apricots or comparable dried-fruit commodity items; recent opportunities under adjacent UNSPSC categories focus instead on fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, meal preparation services, and food-service distribution. School districts, county boards of education, state health agencies, and municipalities across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi have posted RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), packaged groceries, frozen meals, dairy, and prepared food services—but none name dried apricots or similar single-commodity dried-fruit items as line items within their scopes.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and documented procurement activity suggests that either dried apricots are procured under a different UNSPSC classification within state and local food-service chains, are included as undifferentiated line items within larger master grocery or produce contracts that do not break out commodity-level detail in public notices, or see minimal demand through formal solicitation channels. No repeat buyers, geographic concentration, or representative recent opportunities can be identified for this specific commodity code. Practitioners pursuing this category should verify whether state and local nutrition programs and school districts include dried apricots in blanket purchase agreements with primary food distributors, or whether demand is addressed through cooperative purchasing vehicles that consolidate commodity buys into higher-tier UNSPSC families rather than maintaining separate Commodity-level awards.
