UNSPSC 50311610: Organic cluthasun apricots

The variety of organic apricots known as organic clutha sun apricots

UNSPSC 50311610 Organic cluthasun apricots (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—organic specialty apricots—does not align with the recent solicitations retrieved against it. The opportunities posted under this code instead solicit fresh produce broadly (bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, eggs) and specialty items (petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks) for school nutrition programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program support, and Farm to School initiatives. The mismatch indicates either systematic coding misclassification by issuing bodies or that state and local procurement offices tag broad produce categories under commodity-level fruit codes without precision to the specific cultivar or organic designation. Organic cluthasun apricots as a distinct procurement line item do not appear in any of the recent postings.

School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Florida, and Texas dominate the recent produce procurement activity, with the Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), 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—cooperative) all issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs with response dates from March through July 2026. Volumes are substantial, with annual estimated contract values reaching $4.4 million at the GEC cooperative level and individual district procurements ranging from $78,000 to $600,000. Buyers emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, domestic sourcing preferences, and increasingly, local or regional sourcing within 200–400 miles. If pursuing produce supply to state and local education and nutrition programs, target the broader fresh-produce categories and school-nutrition-specific RFPs rather than this specific commodity code.
