UNSPSC 50301634: Moorpark apricots

The variety of apricots known as moorpark apricots

UNSPSC 50301634 Moorpark apricots, a Commodity code, represents a narrow agricultural product line that state and local governments procure primarily through child nutrition and senior services programs rather than as a standalone commodity. Recent state and local solicitations show that this code sits within a broader ecosystem of fresh fruit procurement, where Moorpark apricots (when specified) are typically embedded in comprehensive fresh-produce RFPs, RFBs, and RFPs serving school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and senior centers. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and child nutrition authorities—including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), McAllen ISD (Texas), Bryan County Schools (Georgia), and Head Start of Greater Dallas—alongside county school boards, city departments managing senior services, and cooperative purchasing consortia such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. Apricots as a Commodity code see demand driven by the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), National School Lunch Program, and school breakfast initiatives, all of which mandate fresh produce inclusion and compliance with federal nutrition standards.

Geographic activity centers on school districts across Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California, with the heaviest recent activity in Georgia (reflecting multiple county school systems and the GEC cooperative serving 30 districts across two regions). The City of Edinburg, Texas's CACFP RFP (RFP 2026017, due August 4, 2026) solicits food and nonfood items for 400 children, with apricots potentially falling within the fresh-fruit category; Madison Metropolitan School District's broader produce bids (RFBs 4162 and 4163, due July 29, 2026) for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks demonstrate the scale of institutional fresh-produce demand. The GEC Buying Cooperative's procurement (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) covering 30 Georgia school districts estimated at $5.5 million annually shows the volume available through cooperative vehicles. Hillsborough County Public Schools' Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program RFP (26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026) budgets $600,000 annually for specialty fruits and vegetables to 18–20 elementary sites. While no recent solicitation explicitly names Moorpark apricots as a line item, the code's Commodity tier and the consistent appearance of "apricots" and generic "fresh fruits" across school nutrition bids suggest that pursuit viability depends on vendors' ability to supply apricots within larger produce-distribution contracts; standalone apricot-only solicitations are rare in the recent state and local record, making this code a niche opportunity within broader fresh-produce procurement cycles.
