UNSPSC 50541627: Frozen non GMO kandy kot apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO kandy kot 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 50541627 Frozen non-GMO kandy kot apricots is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities show that state and local governments are actively procuring comprehensive grocery and food service items — including frozen foods, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and non-food supplies — to support school nutrition programs under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. None of the identified solicitations specifically target frozen apricots or specialty produce items; instead, they seek full-service food supply contracts, line-item grocery bids, and fresh produce agreements spanning hundreds of line items per solicitation. The issuing bodies are consistently school districts and boards of education across multiple states, including the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). This code shows little relevant recent activity to the specific commodity it nominates.
