UNSPSC 50551629: Canned or jarred non GMO king apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO king 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 50551629 Canned or jarred non-GMO king apricots, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The sourced opportunities tag various canned and fresh fruit procurements under this code, but the actual buying patterns center on canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broad food-supply contracts rather than king apricots specifically. State and local governments procuring under this code span school districts, corrections departments, health and human services facilities, and regional food service networks, with school nutrition programs and institutional food service representing the primary demand profile.

Recent opportunities demonstrate that the code captures institutional food procurement across multiple issuing-body types. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical price of $21.84 per case, with a 10% combined Oregon-resident and Oregon-goods preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually. The Douglas County School System in Georgia, operating through the GEC Buying Cooperative, issued RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), with school districts as repeat buyers across multiple recent solicitations. Most contracts require firm fixed pricing for the full contract term, FOB destination delivery with freight prepaid, compliance with Buy American Act provisions where applicable, and general liability insurance minimums of $1 million to $2 million. Award typically flows to lowest responsive, responsible bidders meeting specification and delivery requirements, with many contracts renewable for one to four additional one-year terms at the issuing body's discretion.
