UNSPSC 50301639: Poppy apricots

The variety of apricots known as poppy apricots

UNSPSC 50301639 Poppy apricots is a Commodity code that describes fresh and dried stone fruits procured sporadically by state and local education and social service agencies. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for poppy apricots specifically. Instead, the opportunities span broader fresh produce categories for school nutrition programs, child care food services, and correctional facilities—including fresh fruit baskets, mixed produce bundles, apples, bananas, berries, and dried fruits and nuts, but no line item or standalone procurement targeting poppy apricots as a named product. The code's scope maps to institutional food service sourcing of specialty or seasonal stone fruits, yet the recent market activity does not reflect sustained demand for this specific commodity. School districts, county boards of education, and special-purpose nutrition programs (CACFP, FFVP, National School Lunch Program) represent the primary buying audience, but they typically aggregate stone fruit purchases into broader produce contracts rather than isolate poppy apricots as a discrete bid category.

State and local procurement in this code segment occurs across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, and California, with particularly active school district sourcing in Georgia (Glynn County, Dougherty County, Bulloch County, Bryan County, Liberty County, Henry County, and the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 districts). Representative recent solicitations include the GEC Buying Cooperative's fresh produce and eggs RFP (SN 26-004, responses due March 4, 2026) covering two geographic areas across Georgia school districts, Hillsborough County Public Schools' Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program RFP (responses due March 11, 2026) supplying elementary schools in Tampa, and the County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts ITB (responses due February 5, 2026) for correctional food services. None of these opportunities names poppy apricots explicitly, and the code shows minimal recent state and local activity directed at this particular commodity type. Vendors pursuing this code should expect limited and episodic purchasing rather than steady institutional demand.
