UNSPSC 50301643: Rival apricots

The variety of apricots known as rival apricots

UNSPSC 50301643 Rival apricots (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity in the source material. The recent opportunities show no solicitations for rival apricots; instead, the code appears to be applied incorrectly or outdated. Recent fresh produce procurement across state and local jurisdictions focuses on comprehensive produce categories—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, peppers, tomatoes, citrus, and seasonal specialties—rather than specific apricot varieties. The one dry-fruit opportunity in the source (Santa Clara County's procurement of dried fruits and nuts for correctional food service in January 2026) specifies dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mixes, walnuts, and pecans, not apricots. Vendors pursuing activity under this code should verify current UNSPSC alignment with their target customer's actual procurement notices and consider whether broader fresh-produce codes (such as family or class codes covering mixed fruit procurement) better match the opportunities currently posted by school districts, county boards of education, municipal departments, child care facilities, and correctional systems buying produce for meal programs.

The geographic and issuing-body mix in recent state and local fresh-produce procurement spans school districts, special-purpose districts, and municipal departments across Georgia (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, Henry County), Texas (Edinburg, McAllen, Austin), Florida (Hillsborough County), Wisconsin (Madison), Connecticut (Meriden, Bridgeport), Mississippi (DeSoto County), Oregon (Central Point), California (Santa Clara), and other states. Georgia school nutrition programs dominate recent activity. Evaluation criteria typically weight cost at 30–50 percent, with vendor qualifications, service delivery, and product quality splitting remaining points. Buy American provisions requiring domestic commodity sourcing appear in nearly all school nutrition procurements. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are noted in most solicitations, though some encourage small business and minority vendor participation.
