UNSPSC 50541634: Frozen non GMO moorpark apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO moorpark 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 50541634 Frozen non GMO moorpark apricots is a Commodity code that frames a single product line, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show a much broader food-purchasing scope — school districts, county social-services departments, and the state purchasing for shelf-stable and fresh produce, frozen and ambient-temperature grocery items, and institutional food service supplies. The code's nominal product description (frozen non-GMO moorpark apricots) does not align with what is actually being solicited; opportunities include general fresh produce, shelf-stable bulk foods, dairy, proteins, and kitchen supplies for school nutrition programs and social services. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code are primarily school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county social-services departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity, reflecting institutional food-service demand driven by the National School Lunch Program and federal nutrition-compliance requirements.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026, specifying multiple apple and berry varieties, cruciferous and root vegetables, and melons with delivery to three school sites and Buy American requirements. Early County Board of Education solicited approximately 300+ food items plus non-food supplies with bids due June 8, 2026, including meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, grains, condiments, and paper products for three schools. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026, for the Department of Community Services. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sought bids on over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education with electronic bids due June 30, 2026, subject to Buy American requirements and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards.
