UNSPSC 50531651: Dried non GMO tracy apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO tracy 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 50531651 Dried non-GMO Tracy apricots is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct procurement activity in state and local markets; recent solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect purchases of dried apricots or similar specialty dried fruit items. Instead, the opportunities in the dataset reflect broad food service procurement across school districts, county governments, and state agencies seeking comprehensive grocery, produce, and meal delivery contracts where dried fruit, if present at all, represents a line item within much larger food service scopes rather than a standalone procurement focus.

The issuing bodies soliciting under broader food service codes that might incidentally include dried fruit are school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and city governments (City of Bridgeport, City of Dallas, City of Meriden). Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, with Georgia and school districts representing the densest concentration of recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering 45 schools and distribution kitchens across the district; the Meriden Public Schools Commercial & USDA Foods procurement (RFP 02641, due February 25, 2026) estimated at $3.1 million for 8,200 students across 13 sites; the Douglas County School System Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026) valued at approximately $9 million annually for 25,500 students; and the Bulloch County Board of Education School Nutrition Grocery Bid (IFB 043025, due May 4, 2026) covering 14 school delivery sites. Dried specialty fruit items such as non-GMO Tracy apricots would compete as discrete line items within these expansive food service contracts rather than as standalone procurements, making direct market opportunity under this specific Commodity code difficult to characterize.
