UNSPSC 50301627: Kandy kot apricots

The variety of apricots known as kandy kot apricots

UNSPSC 50301627 Kandy kot apricots is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are procuring. The recent opportunities in the source are tagged with this code but predominantly solicit fresh produce, prepared foods, dried fruits and nuts, beverages, paper goods, janitorial supplies, and grocery items to support school nutrition programs, child care food programs, and correctional facility meal services—not a single specialized product category. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Savannah-Chatham County, Austin Independent, Hillsborough County, Bulloch County, Henry County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Early County, Muscogee County, Dougherty County, McAllen Independent, Central Point District, Meriden Public Schools, Bryan County), county boards of education (Bartow County, DeSoto County, Hancock County), city procurement offices (City of Edinburg, City of San Antonio, City of Bridgeport), and specialized consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30+ Georgia districts, Head Start of Greater Dallas). The code sees repeated activity from Georgia school districts particularly, alongside occasional solicitations from Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Oregon jurisdictions.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch between code name and actual procurement. Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFB 4162 (due July 29, 2026) for petite bananas and RFB 4163 (same due date) for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under a USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. The City of Bridgeport posted BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026) soliciting over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast items, cereals, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meat products for the National School Lunch Program with Buy American compliance required. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fresh produce delivery to elementary schools under the federally funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, with an estimated annual budget of $600,000 and proposals originally due March 11, 2026. The GEC Buying Cooperative procurement (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) spans fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas in Georgia with combined estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million. Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 (due March 11, 2026) seeks fresh produce and a la carte beverages with emphasis on the Good Food Purchasing Program and local sourcing preferences. Procurement activity under this code is substantial and ongoing, but the code designation itself is a poor fit for the commodity and service families actually being bought.
