UNSPSC 50311626: Organic jumbo cot apricots

The variety of organic apricots known as organic jumbo cot apricots

UNSPSC 50311626 Organic jumbo cot apricots is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under recent state and local procurement activity. The code's name specifies a single produce item—organic jumbo cotoneaster apricots—yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code solicit broad fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, fresh fruit and vegetable programs funded by USDA grants, and farm-to-school initiatives covering dozens or hundreds of line items spanning apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, eggs, and other commodity produce with no consistent focus on organic certification or jumbo apricot varieties. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies, including Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System via the GEC Buying Cooperative. A single state-level procurement—Georgia's food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid—appears among the recent records, though its scope document was not accessible in the source.

The geographic concentration is heavily weighted toward Georgia, which accounts for the majority of recent solicitations (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, and Douglas County, plus the State of Georgia), with additional activity in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Texas (McAllen and Austin Independent School Districts), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa). Recent representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual contract value of $78,000; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFQDST for fresh fruit and vegetable program deliveries to 18 elementary school sites with estimated annual budget of $600,000; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts totaling approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spending; and McAllen Independent School District's RFP 2026-1029 for fresh produce across 31 campuses serving approximately 20,000 students. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—organic jumbo cot apricots—and the actual procurement activity is substantial, suggesting potential miscoding of opportunities or a code that no longer reflects market practice in state and local school nutrition contracting.
