UNSPSC 50301642: Riland apricots

The variety of apricots known as riland apricots

UNSPSC 50301642 Riland apricots is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement for institutional food service and meal programs, though recent state and local solicitations show limited direct demand for this specific variety. Instead, the code appears to reflect a narrow commodity classification that does not align closely with the broader fresh produce activity across state and local buyers. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit fresh fruits and vegetables in bulk — including apples, bananas, berries, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, and tomatoes — for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child care food programs. Institutional buyers (school districts, state departments of corrections and mental health, county and municipal food service divisions) dominate the issuing-body mix, with school districts appearing most frequently across multiple states. Correctional facilities managed by state departments of corrections and detention centers represent a secondary but steady buyer segment, as do county and municipal food service operations supporting senior centers, parks concessions, and child nutrition programs.

Georgia school districts and Texas state agencies drive the most recent activity, followed by procurement from Illinois, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Florida, and Arizona jurisdictions. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetable delivery to its Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (IFB IW267420 and IW267411, due October 14, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas at $78,000 annual value (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education seeking fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026-27 school year (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and Bartow County Schools requesting local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). Buyers frequently impose Buy American requirements (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content), quality and HACCP compliance documentation, weekly or bi-weekly delivery schedules to multiple sites, firm pricing for contract periods, and insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $1 million in general liability. Opportunities targeted to small businesses, minority-owned, and woman-owned enterprises appear selectively across jurisdictions; local-vendor preferences are common in school-district and county procurements, particularly in Georgia and Texas.
