UNSPSC 50531655: Dried non GMO york apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO york 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 50531655 Dried non-GMO York apricots, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under this category in recent state and local procurement activity. The posted opportunities show no bids for dried apricots or any specialty dried-fruit line items. Instead, state and local jurisdictions are purchasing comprehensive grocery and food-service products — fresh produce, frozen items, proteins, dairy, snacks, beverages, condiments, and meal delivery — for school districts, county governments, and specialized facilities. The code's narrow fruit-commodity scope does not align with the broad, multi-category food procurement that dominates recent postings. No issuing body has tagged a recent opportunity under this code, and the opportunities on record are generic grocery, fresh produce, or food-service contracts that span dozens or hundreds of line items rather than single dried-fruit products.

The recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for dried non-GMO York apricots or any apricot products. All named opportunities—Bridgeport Board of Education (IFB for 1,100+ grocery items, June 30, 2026 deadline), Texas Health and Human Services Commission El Paso facility (IFB for food and consumables, July 13, 2026 deadline), Hancock County Schools fresh produce (IFB, June 26, 2026 deadline), Hillsborough County senior meals (ITB, June 25, 2026 deadline), and multiple school district grocery and produce contracts across Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, Mississippi, and Florida—are multi-category food procurements. Geographic activity spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, and Mississippi, but none of the block's fourteen opportunities name apricots or dried-fruit specialization. If procurement activity exists under this code in state and local channels, it is not reflected in the current dataset.
