UNSPSC 50321609: Dried clutha gold apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321609 Dried Clutha Gold Apricots is a Commodity code covering dried apricot products procured by state and local jurisdictions, primarily school districts and correctional facilities for food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect procurement of dried fruits as components within broader food-supply contracts rather than standalone apricot purchases. School districts, state corrections departments, and municipal nutrition centers are the primary issuing bodies, sourcing dried fruits including apricots, prunes, and other dried produce to meet nutritional requirements for student and inmate meal programs. The work encompasses compliance with Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content in processed products, HACCP food-safety protocols, USDA grading standards, and delivery to multiple designated facilities on fixed schedules throughout contract periods typically running one fiscal or calendar year.

Geographic activity spans multiple states, with recent opportunities posted from Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce including specialty dried items due June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026, with contract through June 30, 2027 and MBE/CBE certification applicable.
