UNSPSC 50311628: Organic katy apricots

The variety of organic apricots known as organic katy apricots

UNSPSC 50311628 Organic katy apricots is a Commodity code with limited recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally names a single fruit variety, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations matching this specific product — instead, the posted opportunities span fresh produce categories broadly (apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits) under RFPs and IFBs issued by school districts and educational cooperatives. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (organic katy apricots specifically) and the actual procurement activity (multi-item fresh produce bundles) suggests that this code either receives minimal standalone procurement, or state and local buyers classify broader fresh produce contracts under higher-tier family or class codes rather than at the commodity level.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida dominate the recent opportunities in this dataset, including Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, 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 through the GEC Buying Cooperative. These districts procure fresh produce under RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs with response dates ranging from June through July 2026, typically with contract periods from July 2026 through June 2027. Representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs (approximately $5.5 million across 30 districts, due March 4, 2026), the Hillsborough County Public Schools Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program RFP (estimated $600,000 annually for elementary schools, proposals due March 11, 2026), and the Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages (due March 11, 2026). Most solicitations require Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, traceability documentation, and multi-year contract terms with renewal options; geographic preference for locally grown or domestic sourcing appears in several opportunities. No incumbent vendors, set-asides, or specific budget allocations for this commodity code alone are identified in the source material.
