UNSPSC 50551649: Canned or jarred non GMO tilton apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO tilton 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 50551649 Canned or jarred non-GMO Tilton apricots is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service. In practice, state and local buyers are purchasing canned applesauce, canned fruit assortments, and other preserved fruit items—often as components of broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone specialty products. The issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, municipal school nutrition programs, and state veterans' homes. Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners appear as recent repeat solicitors. The code sees activity across multiple jurisdictions, with recent opportunities concentrated in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, alongside activity in other states.
