UNSPSC 50541649: Frozen non GMO tilton apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO tilton 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 50541649 Frozen non-GMO Tilton apricots (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement tagged to school nutrition and general grocery solicitations, though recent opportunities show minimal direct demand for this specific frozen-fruit item and instead reflect broad school-food-service purchasing across multiple product categories. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts procuring items as part of larger National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program contracts. The Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery-items solicitation (BID052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) names frozen products as one category within a 1,100-line-item scope spanning breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meats; similarly, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) solicits over 900 grocery line items including fruits and prepared entrees. Issuing bodies are school districts and boards of education across multiple states, with no standout repeat buyer evident at the Commodity level—the code's activity reflects fragmented demand across individual district procurement cycles rather than consolidated regional or state-level purchasing.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary opportunities in Missouri. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) issued an IFB for grocery items due June 30, 2026, supporting the National School Lunch Program with 51 percent domestic agricultural content required and compliance with Title VII CFR nutrition standards; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 produce items across three school sites; the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) requiring whole-grain standards and zero trans fat per serving; and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) bid 72 fresh-produce items (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) for 60 school sites. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) spanning 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. No recent opportunities identify frozen Tilton apricots specifically; the code's activity signals that this commodity sits within broader school-nutrition procurement but draws limited direct solicitation at the line-item level.
