UNSPSC 50301621: Goldrich apricots

The variety of apricots known as goldrich apricots

UNSPSC 50301621 Goldrich apricots, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code show school districts, cities, and other public entities procuring comprehensive fresh produce portfolios—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, tomatoes, and dozens of other items—rather than Goldrich apricots specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or inconsistent application of this Commodity code across state and local systems. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity from independent school districts (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Madison Metropolitan School District), county school systems (Glynn County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools), and municipal or special-purpose food programs (City of Edinburg Parks and Recreation/CACFP, Head Start of Greater Dallas, DeSoto County School District). Cities and counties also procure produce for senior services and correctional facilities. Activity clusters heavily in Texas and Georgia, with notable secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, California, and Mississippi.

Recent representative solicitations include the City of Edinburg's RFP for CACFP meal program supplies (due August 4, 2026) covering beverages, produce, paper goods, and janitorial items across five categories; Madison Metropolitan School District's dual RFBs for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, approximately $78,000 annual value) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026, require Wisconsin sourcing within 400 miles); Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for specialty produce delivery to 18 elementary schools in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated $600,000 annual budget); and a multi-district Georgia cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative) RFP for fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas (due March 4, 2026, estimated $5.5 million annually across 30 districts). School nutrition programs dominate, but the code also captures CACFP child care settings, senior nutrition services, and institutional food service. Most solicitations are IFBs or RFPs with response dates clustered in March through June for July 1 contract starts; the activity pipeline shows sustained demand for school-year supply contracts running July through June with multi-year renewal options common.
