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. State and local governments buy dried fruit products under this code primarily to supply school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. Recent solicitations show school districts procuring mixed dried fruit and nut items as components of broader grocery or specialty food purchases, alongside fresh produce, proteins, and prepared foods. The County of Santa Clara, California, for example, solicited dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix for its detention facility food service on a five-year contract, alongside walnuts and pecans. School districts including Hancock County Schools in Georgia and Rockwood School District in Missouri have issued multi-hundred-line-item grocery bids that encompass dried fruit products as minor components within larger meal-service supply chains. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (elementary, middle, and high school systems) and county correctional facilities, with occasional state-level procurement offices coordinating buys on behalf of multiple agencies or districts.

Activity under this code concentrates in Georgia and California, with secondary presence in Connecticut, Missouri, and Texas. Recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issuing a fresh produce and grocery IFB due June 26, 2026, for the 2026–27 school year with over 200 line items including specialty items; the County of Santa Clara (California) issuing an ITB for dried fruits and nuts due February 5, 2026, requiring five line items on an all-or-none basis with annual volumes of 1,000 to 5,880 cases and a five-year contract term; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing a comprehensive food supply and distribution RFP due February 18, 2026, with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 serving 25,500 students across 32 schools. Dried fruit purchases typically appear as subordinate line items within larger school nutrition commodity bids rather than standalone procurements, with the exception of institutional food service contracts in correctional facilities where specialty dietary items receive explicit focus.
