UNSPSC 50301655: York apricots

The variety of apricots known as york apricots

UNSPSC 50301655 York apricots is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract name bears little relation to the work actually being solicited under it. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code focus instead on broad fresh produce procurement—including fresh fruits, vegetables, dried fruits, and eggs—for school nutrition programs, child care food service, and county correctional facilities. A single opportunity (posted July 16, 2026, by the City of Edinburg, Texas, for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service) names apricots explicitly within a larger five-category food supply RFP due August 4, 2026, but this is the exception; most solicitations under the code use generic produce categories rather than specific fruit varieties. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Henry County Schools, Madison Metropolitan School District, Glynn County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, and others) across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, and Oregon, supplemented by county education authorities, city public schools, Head Start agencies, and correctional facilities. School Nutrition Programs and child nutrition services dominate the contracting landscape.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, where school districts in Savannah-Chatham, Henry, Glynn, Muscogee, Dougherty, Bulloch, Liberty, Bryan, and Hancock Counties have all posted produce procurement notices since late February 2026. Texas school districts (McAllen, Austin, Edinburg) and Florida (Hillsborough County) follow, with scattered activity in Connecticut, Oregon, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's IFB for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, at $78,000 annual contract value), the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's grocery items bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items), and the GEC Buying Cooperative's fresh produce and eggs RFP for 30 Georgia school districts across two geographic areas (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, with estimated spending of approximately $5.5 million). The code shows active institutional food service procurement but does not appear to track commodity-specific apple, berry, or citrus purchasing in isolation; vendors pursuing contracts should treat this code as a catch-all for fresh produce and prepared food items rather than a narrowly targeted york-apricot category.
