UNSPSC 50531650: Dried non GMO tomcot apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO tomcot 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 50531650 Dried non-GMO tomcot apricots (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no relevant solicitations in the dataset; recent opportunities tagged to this code span broad grocery procurement across school districts, county systems, and municipal nutrition programs, but none target or specify dried apricot line items.

State and local procurement under dried-fruit commodity codes remains fragmented across school nutrition, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts that treat individual produce and dried-goods SKUs as line items within larger master grocery or fresh produce bids rather than as standalone solicitations. When dried apricots appear at all, they are embedded as one of hundreds of line items in comprehensive food service RFPs issued by school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Meriden Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District), state nutrition programs (Georgia, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and senior meal providers (Hillsborough County). Bidders pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition and institutional food service master grocery solicitations in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions—where recent activity concentrates—and review detailed item specifications within each RFP's appendices to confirm inclusion of dried-apricot line items and pack-size requirements before pursuing bid-response resources.
