UNSPSC 50301629: King apricots

The variety of apricots known as king apricots

UNSPSC 50301629 King apricots is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit king apricots as a standalone procurement item; the recent opportunities block contains no direct solicitations for this produce variety. A single CACFP meal-program RFP from the City of Edinburg, Texas names "fruits" as part of a five-category food-supply scope without specifying apple varieties or premium produce types, and a school-district fresh-produce cooperative RFP from the GEC Buying Cooperative lists generic produce categories across apples, berries, and citrus without distinguishing premium or specialty cultivars. The bulk of recent activity—including RFPs and IFBs from Madison Metropolitan School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, and multiple Georgia school districts—centers on commodity fresh produce staples (bananas, apples, carrots, broccoli, lettuce) and eggs sold in high-volume institutional quantities. School districts, county boards of education, and cooperative purchasing consortia dominate the issuing-body mix; no municipal departments outside education or child nutrition have posted solicitations under this code in the recent block.

The geographic concentration is heavily Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Wisconsin, Connecticut, Florida, and Mississippi. Georgia school districts and county boards of education—including Bulloch County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Bartow County, Bryan County, and the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 districts—drive the most frequent solicitations. Recent representative opportunities include the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP (SN 26-004) for fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million (proposals due March 4, 2026); Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 for fresh produce across 16 school locations with bid opening April 14, 2026; and Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 (bids due July 29, 2026). King apricots as a premium cultivar do not appear in any of these recent institutional produce solicitations; pursuit under this code carries low probability without evidence of active demand for specialty stone fruits.
