UNSPSC 50541621: Frozen non GMO goldrich apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO goldrich 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 50541621 Frozen non-GMO goldrich apricots, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently being solicited under this classification. The recent opportunities posted by state and local purchasing offices span broad food and nutrition programs — school lunch and breakfast services, senior nutrition support, and general food procurement for public agencies — but none of the recent solicitations name frozen apricots or commodity-specific produce items as line items. The sourcing activity under this code shows little relevant recent state and local purchasing.

The four most recent opportunities tagged to this code span school districts and county government purchasing across Georgia and Connecticut: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and pantry staples for senior services, due October 19, 2026); the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education (electronic bids for over 1,100 grocery line items including breakfast items, produce, dairy, and meat products subject to National School Lunch Program compliance, due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education (sealed IFB bids for fresh produce spanning multiple apple and berry varieties, vegetables, and specialty items for school year 2026-27, due June 26, 2026); and Early County Board of Education (line-by-line bids for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies for school nutrition programs, due June 8, 2026). A fifth posting from the State of Georgia (due June 22, 2026) references a separate solicitation document but does not detail the scope. The clustering suggests state and local purchasing under this code is driven by school nutrition procurement and senior services funding; however, the absence of frozen apricot line items in the visible scopes indicates the code may be misapplied by the issuing offices or represents minimal direct sourcing of this specific commodity.
