UNSPSC 50301633: Modesto apricots

The variety of apricots known as modesto apricots

UNSPSC 50301633 Modesto apricots is a Commodity code that describes a single fresh fruit product line. State and local governments rarely solicit this code in isolation; instead, they procure fresh apricots as line items within broader produce, grocery, or meal-program solicitations. The recent opportunities block contains no dedicated apricot solicitations. Review of 26 posted opportunities spanning January through July 2026—including requests from school districts, county boards of education, child-care programs, and one county correctional facility—shows fresh produce procurement is nearly universal across K-12 school nutrition, Head Start child-care, and senior services. Apricots do not appear by name in any recent posting. The broader fresh-produce category, spanning multiple fruits and vegetables, dominates activity; school districts solicit complete seasonal produce line lists (60–200 items per RFP/RFQ/IFB), and apricots, when purchased, are typically bundled with stone fruits, berries, or other seasonal items rather than requisitioned separately.

Recent activity clusters heavily in Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Bulloch County School District, Bartow County School System, and a multi-district GEC Buying Cooperative) and Texas (City of Edinburg, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD). Additional solicitations originate in Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Oregon (Central Point School District), California (County of Santa Clara), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Mississippi (DeSoto County School District). School districts typically issue IFBs or RFPs with response dates spanning 2–6 weeks; the City of Bridgeport's broader grocery RFP (posted June 30, 2026, due June 30, 2026) and Hancock County's fresh-produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) exemplify the compressed timelines. The lack of dedicated apricot solicitations and the absence of Modesto or California sourcing language in recent postings suggests minimal current market differentiation for this specific commodity at the state and local level—apricots compete as a commodity within multi-item produce contracts where price and availability drive award, not origin.
