UNSPSC 50321612: Dried dina apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321612 Dried dina apricots is a Commodity code that encompasses dried apricot procurement for state and local government food service operations, though recent solicitations show minimal direct buying under this specific code and instead reflect broader dried fruit and produce purchasing across school districts, correctional facilities, and other public institutions. State and local governments soliciting under this code family purchase dried fruits as components of larger food service contracts—particularly for school nutrition programs, county correctional facilities, and centralized nutrition distribution networks. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), plus county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of Correction in California) and state departments of criminal justice (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School districts dominate the activity, with nutrition programs serving K-12 populations and centralized food service operations across multiple school sites.

Geographic spread centers on the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with recent solicitations in Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, California, Connecticut, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (January 28, 2026 posting, February 5, 2026 due date) for dried raisins, dried cranberries, dried tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans supplied to the Elmwood Correctional Facility on a five-year firm-fixed contract with optional annual increases; the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution (January 21, 2026 posting, February 18, 2026 due date) covering approximately 32,000 meals daily with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000; and the Rockwood R-VI School District's procurement of over 900 grocery items (March 31, 2026 posting, April 29, 2026 due date) serving approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily. Buy American requirements mandating minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations, along with firm-fixed pricing, delivery-inclusive costs, and multi-year renewal options at district discretion. No specific incumbent vendors or set-aside designations appear in the available documentation.
