UNSPSC 50531653: Dried non GMO valley gold apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO valley gold 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 50531653 Dried non-GMO valley gold apricots (Commodity) does not see active state and local procurement. The recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations matching the code's nominal scope. The posted opportunities span comprehensive school nutrition grocery procurement, fresh produce contracts, senior meal services, and institutional food supply—all of which reference apricots and other dried fruits only as line items within much broader food service categories rather than as standalone commodity purchases. School districts in Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, along with county and state agencies, are procuring groceries and produce in volume to support child nutrition programs and senior services, but dried non-GMO valley gold apricots do not appear as a named category in any recent IFB, RFP, or ITB solicitation. The code itself reflects a specialized agricultural commodity, but the opportunities dataset shows state and local buyers aggregating dried fruit demand—if present—into blanket grocery or fresh-produce line-item structures rather than issuing separate solicitations for specific dried-fruit varieties.

Because the code does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the dataset, no issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or representative opportunities can be identified. Business development professionals tracking this commodity should expect demand to flow through master grocery contracts (such as Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 or Meriden Public Schools' RFP 026-41) or regional cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than standalone dried-fruit procurements.
