UNSPSC 50321607: Dried bulida apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321607 Dried bulida apricots is a Commodity code covering dried fruits procured by state and local governments primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. State and local solicitations under this code typically encompass dried stone fruits and related dried fruit products as line items within larger fresh and processed food commodity bids rather than as standalone procurements. School districts and state corrections departments represent the primary issuing bodies, with bids structured to supply nutrition centers, cafeterias, and food distribution warehouses serving student populations and institutionalized residents over multi-year contract periods. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content thresholds (typically 51 percent for processed items), provide USDA grade certifications and nutritional data, maintain HACCP or equivalent food safety plans, and accept firm-fixed pricing over the contract term.
