UNSPSC 50541643: Frozen non GMO rival apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO rival 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 50541643 Frozen non-GMO rival apricots is a Commodity code that captures specialty frozen fruit products procured by school districts and education agencies for child nutrition programs, though recent state and local opportunities show little direct solicitation activity specifically targeting this product line. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix across the available records, with the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System all actively soliciting food service contracts. These districts typically issue requests on an annual cycle, covering full school years from July through June, with firm fixed pricing and deliveries to central warehouses and individual school sites. The procurement activity is heavily concentrated in Georgia, with additional activity in Connecticut, Missouri, and multi-district cooperative arrangements. Most opportunities require Buy American compliance (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed products), HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 aggregate depending on the district, and E-Verify authorization.

The recent state and local record shows no directly relevant opportunities specifically requesting frozen non-GMO rival apricots as a line item. The Bridgeport Board of Education IFB BNB052266 (posted June 30, 2026, due June 30, 2026) covers over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products but does not itemize apricots; the Hancock County IFB SN002-2027 (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) focuses on fresh produce across 200+ line items with no mention of frozen specialty fruit; and the Rockwood R-VI procurement (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) encompasses 900+ grocery items but itemizes neither frozen apricots nor non-GMO specifications. The code shows limited recent matching activity at the Commodity level, suggesting either low demand for this specific product variant among state and local school nutrition programs or misalignment between the code taxonomy and actual procurement practice.
