UNSPSC 50321603: Dried brittany gold apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321603 Dried brittany gold apricots, a Commodity code, represents dried fruit procurement that state and local governments source primarily for school nutrition and correctional food services. Recent opportunities show school districts and county corrections facilities buying dried fruits—including apricots, raisins, cranberries, and mixed tropical blends—as ingredients or standalone items in cafeteria and inmate meal programs. The actual purchasing pattern diverges from the narrow code name; state and local buyers treat dried apricots as part of broader dried fruit and produce supply contracts rather than as a standalone commodity line item. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent solicitations from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all procuring fresh or processed produce and grocery items for child nutrition services. County corrections systems also appear—Santa Clara County, California, recently solicited dried fruits and nuts for its Sheriff's Department detention facility. Multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts) are common in this code space.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with secondary activity in California, Missouri, and Virginia. Recent representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with a June 26, 2026 due date (SN002-2027); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323) with an April 27, 2026 response deadline, requiring minimum three years' vendor experience and firm fixed pricing for 365 days; and Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617) with a five-year contract term and a February 5, 2026 submission deadline. Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic content for processed goods) and HACCP food-safety compliance appear consistently across school district RFPs and IFBs. Payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days, with annual contract periods (July 1 through June 30) and renewal options up to five years. No set-aside or preference programs limiting competition to disadvantaged enterprises are noted in the recent opportunities block; all qualified vendors meeting experience and insurance thresholds are eligible.
