UNSPSC 50551619: Canned or jarred non GMO goldbar apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO goldbar 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 50551619 Canned or jarred non-GMO goldbar apricots (Commodity) names a narrow product line, but state and local food-service procurement offices soliciting under this code are actually buying shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed commodity food bundles—for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The Commodity code sits within a broader family of food products that purchasing offices apply to individual line items within larger food-service solicitations, often bundled with dozens of other shelf-stable items rather than procured in isolation. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health agencies, county school boards, municipal education departments, and specialized service centers. Georgia Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois via its Chief Procurement Office, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Austin Independent School District appear across multiple recent solicitations, indicating that food-service contracting for institutional care and education is a repeat procurement activity among state and local buyers.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Gwinnett County issued an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables, with quotes due October 19, 2026, for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued Invitations to Bid for canned applesauce in May and July 2026, each requesting approximately 1,900–4,760 cases for delivery to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, with bids evaluated on price and a combined 10 percent Oregon-vendor preference. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple weekly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy throughout the second and third quarters of 2026, accepting both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested supplemental food and consumables via IFB HHS0016792v2 with a March 19, 2026 deadline, covering 210 line items across institutional facilities statewide with a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million. Response dates are firm, response windows narrow (typically three to four weeks), and delivery expectations vary from 45 days to 72 hours post-order depending on issuing body and contract structure.
