UNSPSC 50311601: Organic ambercot apricots

The variety of organic apricots known as organic ambercot apricots

UNSPSC 50311601 Organic ambercot apricots (Commodity) describes specialized fresh produce that state and local school nutrition programs procure for child nutrition and farm-to-school initiatives, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity specifically under this code. The dominant buying pattern across recent procurements reflects school districts sourcing broad fresh produce categories—including apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, and other staples—through RFP, RFQ, and IFB notices. School nutrition programs execute the majority of solicitation activity, supported by cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative and federal programs including the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Issuing bodies span independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District), county boards of education (Hancock County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Bulloch County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Bartow County, Early County), and regional purchasing cooperatives; school nutrition departments are the consistent transacting unit across all recent opportunities. Georgia school districts dominate the recent posting activity, with additional solicitations from Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools) and Texas (Austin Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District).

Recent representative solicitations under related commodity codes reveal the purchasing context but show no recent opportunities specifically tagged to organic ambercot apricots. The Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP for the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (posted April 13, 2026, with proposals due March 11, 2026) sought specialty fruits and vegetables including pre-cut, pre-packaged produce for approximately 18 elementary school sites, estimated at $600,000 annual budget with fixed cost-plus-per-case pricing. The Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 (posted March 16, 2026, bids due April 14, 2026) procured approximately 60 produce line items for 16 school locations across a full school year with pricing indexed to USDA market prices. The Douglas County School System RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, proposals due March 4, 2026) encompassed 72 line items of produce and eggs supplying 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One alone. School districts consistently require HACCP plans, traceability documentation, Buy American compliance, 98 to 100 percent fill rates, weekly or specified delivery schedules with early-morning windows, and liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000. No recent opportunities explicitly reference organic ambercot apricots or apricots generally; the code shows little current state and local procurement activity.
