UNSPSC 50321614: Dried earliman apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321614 Dried earliman apricots (Commodity) appears in school district and state correctional procurement with limited recent activity directly matching the code's narrow scope—state and local governments buy dried fruit products primarily through broader food-supply contracts that encompass multiple dried, canned, and fresh produce categories rather than single-item commodity buys. When dried fruit procurement does surface, it aligns with institutional food service operations: school nutrition programs, correctional facility cafeterias, and state food-supply contracts that bundle proteins, vegetables, grains, and dried goods under unified line-item solicitations. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts, state corrections departments, and state purchasing offices acting on behalf of institutional feeding programs, with occasional city procurement offices coordinating on behalf of school nutrition centers.

Recent opportunities show school nutrition programs and state corrections departments in Georgia and Texas driving the activity. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026 response deadline—a broad fresh-produce RFQ that does not isolate dried fruit but establishes the scale of institutional food-service demand. The State of Georgia solicited food supplies and kitchen products via IFB PE55645NONST2026000000009 (June 22, 2026 due date), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products under IFB 304T-26-300CF (May 4, 2026 due date, extended via Addendum No. 2), with TDCJ also seeking whole pitted dried prunes (Bid IW236532, originally due February 20, 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's Board of Education Nutrition Center issued RFB BNB053266 for commodities with a June 26, 2026 deadline covering 115 line items across proteins, dairy, and produce categories. All school-based solicitations enforce the Buy American Provision requiring at least 51 percent domestic content in processed products, and MBE/CBE certifications apply where specified.
