UNSPSC 50301627: Kandy kot apricots

The variety of apricots known as kandy kot apricots

UNSPSC 50301627 Kandy kot apricots, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded under this classification. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for kandy kot apricots or similar specialty apricot varieties; instead, state and local bodies are purchasing broad fresh produce assortments — mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, processed produce, and commodity-level items for institutional food service — across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, child care programs, and mental health centers. The code's nominal scope—a specific cultivar of apricot—bears no relationship to the institutional bulk-procurement work actually happening in the market.

The issuing bodies pursuing fresh produce contracts span Texas correctional departments, Florida county parks and recreation, Illinois state mental health facilities, Georgia and Mississippi school districts, Wisconsin metropolitan school districts, Connecticut municipal boards of education, Texas Head Start programs, and Georgia school systems. Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears twice in the recent block with separate solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to food warehouses serving correctional facilities (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411 with response dates in mid-October 2026), and Collier County, Florida issued an ITN for food concession services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025). School districts dominate the recent activity: Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin posted RFBs for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks in July 2026; multiple Georgia school districts (Bryan County, Hancock County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Early County) and Mississippi's DeSoto County School District posted produce bids through June 2026. The Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health each issued small-purchase RFQs for fresh produce delivery in August 2026. No vendor set-asides or preference patterns emerge consistently across the block. The code does not reflect actual state and local procurement patterns and warrants deprioritization unless future opportunities demonstrate a shift to specialty produce sourcing.
