UNSPSC 50541630: Frozen non GMO lambertin apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO lambertin 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 50541630 Frozen non-GMO Lambertin apricots is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not see meaningful procurement demand. The code's nominal scope—a single specialty frozen fruit product—does not align with the actual work being bought under related produce and grocery categories by school districts and municipalities. Recent opportunities tagged at adjacent UNSPSC codes name dozens of fresh and frozen produce items, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and prepared foods to support child nutrition and school lunch programs, but none of the eight most-recent solicitations explicitly reference frozen non-GMO lambertin apricots or specify procurement of this particular variety. The opportunities do reference frozen fruits generically (as part of broader frozen-foods and grocery bundles), but purchasing appears driven by volume commodity aggregation—apples, bananas, carrots, berries, eggs, milk, and prepared entrees—rather than specialty single-item SKUs.

School districts and municipalities across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri dominate recent activity in the broader frozen-foods and fresh-produce space. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) solicited over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026 via IFB; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested over 200 fresh-produce line items due June 26, 2026; City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) requested over 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026; and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) bid 72 fresh-produce items due April 23, 2026. Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued a cooperative RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One, due March 4, 2026. None of these solicitations name frozen non-GMO lambertin apricots as a line item or specification. The code shows little relevant recent activity; vendors targeting this code should verify whether it reflects genuine procurement intent at target accounts or represents a taxonomy mismatch.
