UNSPSC 50301649: Tilton apricots

The variety of apricots known as tilton apricots

UNSPSC 50301649 Tilton apricots is a Commodity code representing a single fresh fruit product type. State and local governments procure fresh apricots under this code primarily through school nutrition programs, senior services, and child care food programs that serve multiple constituencies across institutional settings. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for Tilton apricots; instead, the code appears in a dataset populated largely by school district produce contracts, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and child nutrition RFPs that specify dozens of produce line items generically (apples, bananas, berries, citrus, melons, stone fruits) without isolating individual cultivars or suppliers. The body of recent activity—from school breakfast and lunch programs to USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program contracts—confirms that fresh produce is procured at scale by education authorities and public agencies, but the source material does not surface discrete Tilton apricot procurement records or show this specific commodity being called out separately in any recent bid.

State and local purchasing under this code, based on the broader produce context, spans school districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California; cooperative purchasing consortia serving multiple districts; and specialized programs such as Head Start, senior services, and correctional facilities. School nutrition departments dominate the issuing bodies, with districts in the $3 million to $5.5 million annual produce spend range common in cooperative or multi-site contracts. Representative recent opportunities include the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) covering approximately $5.5 million in produce across 30 Georgia school districts, Meriden Public Schools' $3.1 million produce contract (RFP 02641, due February 25, 2026), and the Hillsborough County Public Schools Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program contract ($600,000 estimated annual budget, RFP 26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026). However, none of these solicitations isolate Tilton apricots as a line item; they request competitive bids on generic produce categories or allow vendors to propose seasonal availability. Without recent standalone Tilton apricot solicitations in the source material, pursuit viability under this specific commodity code cannot be assessed from current market signals.
