UNSPSC 50311605: Organic blenheim apricots

The variety of organic apricots known as organic blenheim apricots

UNSPSC 50311605 Organic blenheim apricots is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little relevant activity. The single concrete opportunity mentioning a specific produce item—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026—does not align with organic blenheim apricots; the MMSD and other school districts in the source block are soliciting fresh produce, bananas, and mixed fruit-and-vegetable programs under codes that appear to be broader institutional food service procurements rather than specialty organic fruit lines. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope (organic blenheim apricots specifically) and the actual work being bought by state and local governments (general fresh produce for school nutrition programs) suggests this code either sees minimal procurement activity or is rarely applied to actual state and local solicitations in practice.

School districts across Georgia, Florida, and Texas dominate recent produce procurement: Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia, through GEC Buying Cooperative) are all soliciting fresh produce contracts via RFB, RFP, IFB, and ITB notices with response dates between late March and late July 2026. These opportunities typically cover 50 to 200+ produce line items—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, melons, and specialty fruits—at estimated annual contract values ranging from $78,000 (MMSD petite bananas alone) to $4.4 million (Douglas County cooperative produce and eggs). None of the recent opportunities name organic blenheim apricots or specify sourcing restricted to organic certification, making this code largely inactive for state and local procurement decision-making at present.
