UNSPSC 50311600: Organic apricots

The type of organic fruit known as organic apricots

UNSPSC 50311600 Organic apricots is a Class code. State and local governments rarely solicit this specific commodity through dedicated RFPs or RFBs. The single recent opportunity in the source block—Madison Metropolitan School District's July 2026 RFB for petite bananas—is tagged with the apricot code but actually requests bananas. This mismatch signals that the code as applied does not reflect current procurement intent, and organic apricots show negligible activity in state and local school nutrition purchasing right now.

The broader category of fresh produce, however, sees robust activity across school districts nationwide. When state and local food service programs do procure fresh fruit and vegetables, they buy them through standing annual contracts under codes like this one, typically via IFB or RFP, with response dates spanning spring through early summer for contracts beginning in July. School districts in Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Utah dominate recent postings, usually serving 10–60 school sites with weekly or twice-weekly delivery and purchasing volumes measured in thousands of cases annually. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 200 produce line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, and vegetables; Bulloch County School District's May 2026 RFP for locally grown produce within 200 miles; and Austin Independent School District's March 2026 RFP for fresh produce and beverages emphasizing the Good Food Purchasing Program and domestic sourcing preferences. These procurements consistently weight cost at 30–50 percent of evaluation, require HACCP plans and Buy American compliance, demand $500,000–$2 million liability insurance, and favor produce grown or delivered within defined geographic radii. The code as applied to organic apricots alone carries minimal pursuit opportunity; organic fruit procurement sits dormant at the state and local level relative to the volume of general fresh-produce sourcing.
