UNSPSC 50541619: Frozen non GMO goldbar apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO goldbar 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 50541619 Frozen non GMO goldbar apricots is a Commodity code that captures individual specialty produce items purchased by state and local education, social services, and nutrition programs. The code's nominal scope names a specific frozen-fruit SKU, but in practice state and local procurement under this code reflects broader fresh and shelf-stable food purchasing for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and county agencies buying across produce categories — fresh apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty fruits — alongside frozen and shelf-stable proteins, grains, dairy, and condiments to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, senior meals, and community-services food distribution.

Issuing bodies span county boards of education (Hancock County, Early County in Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county departments of community services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state procurement agencies (State of Georgia). Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Connecticut based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items, delivery to three school sites, contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (response due October 19, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 electronic bid for grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items supporting school nutrition with Buy American requirements (response due June 30, 2026), and Early County Board of Education's June 2026 bid for 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies for school breakfast and lunch programs (response due June 8, 2026). Buy American domestic-content requirements (typically 51% for processed products), HACCP plans, product testing, nutritional compliance, and insurance coverage appear consistently across school nutrition and senior-services contracts.
