UNSPSC 50541603: Frozen non GMO brittany gold apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO birttany gold apricots that have been frozen 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 50541603 Frozen non-GMO Brittany Gold apricots, a Commodity code, represents a narrowly specific frozen fruit product within the broader landscape of food procurement by state and local governments. However, the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect demand for this specific item — instead, they capture large-scale food supply contracts spanning shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, and frozen mixed products for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service operations. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited signals minimal focused activity in this particular frozen apricot variety; state and local buyers appear to source frozen fruit and specialty produce through broader food supply agreements rather than dedicated commodity-level buys.

The recent opportunities show issuing bodies concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut, with activity spanning county boards of education (Hancock County, Early County), county government (Gwinnett County), municipal school systems (Bridgeport Board of Education), and state procurement (State of Georgia). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited informal written quotes (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services due October 19, 2026, while Hancock County Board of Education requested bids on fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport sought electronic bids through its OpenGov portal for over 1,100 line items supporting the National School Lunch Program due June 30, 2026. These contracts emphasize Buy American domestic content requirements, USDA nutrition standards compliance, HACCP plans, and firm fixed pricing with transportation included, but none target frozen Brittany Gold apricots as a line item; the code appears misaligned with actual procurement demand.
