UNSPSC 50321612: Dried dina apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321612 Dried dina apricots (Commodity) captures dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The work involves sourcing and delivering dried fruit meeting USDA grade standards and Buy American provisions to school districts, state departments, and correctional facilities. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with state nutrition and procurement offices also active; the recent opportunities show repeated activity from education-focused buyers contracting for multi-year school-year supply agreements.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year, with delivery to three school sites and a June 26 response deadline. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center in June 2026 via electronic submission through OpenGov, also due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The State of Georgia issued a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026, with a June 22 deadline.
