UNSPSC 50301618: Gold brite apricots

The variety of apricots known as gold brite apricots

UNSPSC 50301618 Gold brite apricots is a Commodity code that does not correspond to recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains 25 recent opportunities soliciting fresh produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, grocery items, and food service supplies across school districts, cities, counties, and special-purpose agencies, but none of these opportunities explicitly solicits gold brite apricots or any specific apricot variety by name. The code's nominal scope—a single fresh fruit item—sits at the most granular taxonomy level, yet state and local food service procurement operates at broader categorical and line-item levels. School districts, county boards of education, cities, and child nutrition programs consistently bundle dozens or hundreds of produce line items, branded grocery products, or open-specification fresh fruit categories into single solicitations rather than sourcing individual specialty varieties as standalone contracts.

Recent opportunities show active procurement of fresh produce across Georgia (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bulloch County, Bryan County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, Bartow County), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, City of Edinburg), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools, City of Bridgeport), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Oregon (Central Point School District), California (County of Santa Clara), and a multi-state cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative across 30 Georgia districts). Solicitation types include RFP, RFB, ITB, and IFB formats with response dates from February through August 2026. These opportunities specify produce by broad category (apples, bananas, berries, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables) or by generic descriptor (fresh fruits, specialty fruits, seasonal produce), with vendors expected to deliver competing brands or farmer sources meeting quality and delivery standards. No recent opportunity names a specific apricot variety, gold brite or otherwise, as a discrete line item or procurement focus. The code appears to address a product granularity that state and local procurement taxonomy does not activate; pursuit under this code is not supported by current activity.
