UNSPSC 50321611: Dried darby royal apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321611 Dried darby royal apricots, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code. The five recent solicitations indexed under 50321611 span fresh produce for school nutrition programs, institutional food commodities, cafeteria staples for correctional facilities, and dried prunes — but none specifically call for dried apricots, darby royal or otherwise. The code's nominal scope (a single dried-fruit product line) appears misaligned with actual procurement activity, which centers on broad fresh and processed food categories for school districts, state corrections departments, and municipal nutrition centers. State and local buyers using this code are primarily school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases). These are repeat institutional food buyers sourcing through IFB and RFQ vehicles with firm-fixed pricing and multi-location delivery requirements.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 due date and delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) solicited 115 commodity line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products, also due June 26, 2026, through the OpenGov Procurement Portal with MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 cafeteria food-product line items across five geographic distribution areas, with a May 4, 2026 response deadline and contract term through August 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals. A separate TDCJ solicitation (IW236532) targeted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with 1,400-box minimum order for the Corpus Christi location, with a February 20, 2026 due date now closed. The Buy American provision requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products appears in multiple solicitations. This code shows little relevant recent activity in dried apricots specifically.
