UNSPSC 50551610: Canned or jarred non GMO clutha sun apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO clutha sun apricots that have been canned or jarred 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 50551610 Canned or jarred non-GMO Clutha Sun apricots, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source material. The ten recent solicitations tagged under or near this code show no purchases of the specific product named—canned or jarred non-GMO Clutha Sun apricots. Instead, state and local buyers are soliciting broad shelf-stable food products for institutional food service, including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and consumables for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, state-supported living centers, and state veterans homes. The category name is too narrow and product-specific to reflect the actual procurement patterns in the data.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut across county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state veterans homes, state health and human services agencies, and municipal school districts. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (RFP, due August 24, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' invitation to bid on 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026 at $21.84 per case historical price), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's procurement of approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's bid for 115 line items of commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit and vegetable products (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026). Because the code describes a single branded product rather than a commodity family, it shows little relevance to actual state and local food service purchasing under the broader Commodity framework.
