UNSPSC 50301606: Bonny apricots

The variety of apricots known as bonny apricots

UNSPSC 50301606 Bonny apricots is a Commodity code naming a single fresh fruit product line. State and local governments procure fresh apricots as part of broader food-service operations — institutional meal programs at correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior centers, and child care programs. The code appears in solicitations primarily for apricots sourced as individual line items within larger produce contracts rather than as standalone apricot-only buys. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county and municipal school districts, senior services divisions, and nonprofit child care operators. The mix tilts toward education and corrections: school nutrition programs and state prison food services dominate recent activity, with smaller volumes in health-care and senior-services operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary volume in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Connecticut. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations (TDCJ Snyder Food Warehouse, TDCJ Wynne Food Warehouse, and Palestine fresh fruit procurement) with response dates in mid-October 2026, though none explicitly name apricots in available summaries. Georgia school districts—Hancock County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bryan County Schools, and Early County Board of Education—have posted fresh produce bids (due dates spanning May through June 2026) listing apricots as a line item within 40-to-300-item produce specifications. Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center solicited fresh fruits and vegetables (due August 14, 2026, small purchase) including apricots. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin bid separately for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026). The source shows no recent apricot-only contracts; apricots are purchased incidentally as part of comprehensive institutional food-service buys, making standalone pursuit limited unless your firm supplies through larger produce-distribution channels.
