UNSPSC 50301648: Sundrop apricots

The variety of apricots known as sundrop apricots

UNSPSC 50301648 Sundrop apricots is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for sundrop apricots specifically; instead, the opportunities posted under this code span a broad range of school nutrition, child care, and institutional food service procurements covering fresh produce, groceries, and food items. These include the City of Edinburg, Texas requesting CACFP meal program supplies (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFBs 4162 and 4163, due July 29, 2026); multiple Georgia school districts requesting fresh produce contracts; and the County of Santa Clara requesting dried fruits and nuts for a correctional facility. The code's nominal scope—sundrop apricots, a specific dried fruit variety—does not align with the actual procurement activity being tagged, which focuses on fresh produce distribution, institutional grocery supply, and meal program support for K-12 schools and child care programs across multiple states.

State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Austin Independent, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Henry County Schools, and numerous Georgia district boards of education), municipal departments (City of Bridgeport, City of San Antonio, City of Meriden), county governments (Santa Clara County, DeSoto County, Muscogee County), cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts), and child care and Head Start agencies (City of Edinburg CACFP, Head Start of Greater Dallas). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Mississippi, Oregon, and California. The code shows significant recent activity in institutional food service procurement generally, but the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchases suggests this code is either misapplied to these opportunities or that sundrop apricots, as a Commodity, falls within a broader fresh-produce-and-grocery Family or Class that state and local systems are tagging at the granular level without finding dedicated opportunities.
