The variety of apricots known as apache apricots that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50321602 Dried apache apricots, a Commodity code, covers dried fruit products purchased by state and local school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and other institutional food service operations.

Recent solicitations show that dried fruits appear as line items within comprehensive food commodity RFPs and IFBs rather than as standalone purchases; school districts and state corrections agencies are the primary buyers, with contracts emphasizing USDA grade compliance, Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, firm fixed pricing for multi-year terms, and delivery to multiple institutional locations on FOB destination or freight-prepaid terms.
