UNSPSC 50301610: Clutha sun apricots

The variety of apricots known as clutha sun apricots

UNSPSC 50301610 Clutha sun apricots (Commodity) represents a highly specialized fresh produce category with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a single heirloom apricot variety—sits at substantial distance from actual solicitation patterns in the recent opportunities block, where institutional food service buyers pursuing school nutrition, child care, and senior services contracts call for broad fresh produce assortments, not varietal specificity. The one opportunity explicitly tagged to this code, the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies due August 4, 2026, requests multiple fresh fruit categories (100% fruit juice, unspecified fresh fruits for 400 children ages 1–18) but does not name apricots or specify the Clutha variety. The mismatch between the code's precision and the generalist procurement reality signals that state and local buyers either do not segment produce procurement at the varietal level within UNSPSC taxonomy, or the code has limited relevance to active institutional purchasing.

The broader Commodity codes driving real demand across the dataset—fresh produce, fruits and vegetables, grocery items—draw activity from Texas school districts (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia school systems (Glynn County, Bulloch County, Dougherty County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Bryan County, Henry County), Connecticut and Florida school systems (Meriden, Hillsborough County), and cooperative purchasing vehicles spanning multiple districts (GEC Buying Cooperative across 30 Georgia districts), with contract values ranging from $78,000 (Madison Metropolitan petite bananas, due July 29, 2026) to $3.1 million (Meriden Public Schools, due February 25, 2026). Solicitation activity clusters around institutional food service: school lunches and breakfasts under NSLP/CACFP, fresh fruit and vegetable programs (FFVP), child and adult care nutrition, and senior services. The code shows no relevant recent state and local contract opportunities; firms pursuing commodity-level apricot supply should monitor broader produce and fruit-category codes (UNSPSC 50300000–50399999 range) where institutional buyers actually consolidate fresh fruit sourcing.
