UNSPSC 50541647: Frozen non GMO royal orange apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO royal orange 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 50541647 Frozen non-GMO royal orange apricots is a Commodity code that describes a narrowly defined frozen fruit product, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows almost no relevant sourcing — the opportunities listed are generic food procurement solicitations spanning 300 to 1,100+ line items of shelf-stable and fresh grocery items for school nutrition programs, senior services, and public institutions. Frozen specialty apricots do not appear as a distinct line item or focus in any of the posted solicitations; the code appears to be tagged to broad food RFQs and IFBs that encompass produce, proteins, dairy, and condiments but not to dedicated sourcing for this specific product category. State and local buyers posting opportunities under this code are primarily school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and state-level agencies (State of Georgia), all procuring food support for the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and senior meal services rather than specialty frozen fruit items.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County, and State of Georgia) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), with posted opportunities spanning May through October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 informal written quote (RFQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year due June 26, 2026; and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line bid for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies due June 8, 2026. The Bridgeport Board of Education IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items closed June 30, 2026. No posted solicitation targets frozen specialty apricots as a standalone commodity or specialty item, signaling minimal current state and local procurement activity under this specific UNSPSC code.
