UNSPSC 50321614: Dried earliman apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321614 Dried earliman apricots is a Commodity code that describes dried apricot products used in institutional food service. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food operations that source dried fruit as a component of larger meal-service contracts rather than as a standalone item. Recent solicitations show dried apricots and related dried fruits appearing as line items within broader fresh produce, grocery, and food-service procurements where school districts and state agencies aggregate multiple food categories into single RFPs or IFBs to simplify vendor management and logistics.

School districts across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and other states issue the majority of recent solicitations touching this code, either directly as part of fresh-produce and grocery bids or as subordinate items within master food-service contracts. Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce under solicitation PE67080NONST2027000000013 (due June 26, 2026) that encompasses over 200 line items of produce and specialty items delivered to three school locations; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issued Bid 26-34 (due April 23, 2026) for 72 fresh-produce items including specialized and single-serve categories; and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited over 900 line items of grocery items (due April 29, 2026) spanning snacks, fruits, vegetables, and prepared entrees. The County of Santa Clara, California, issued a standalone dried-fruits-and-nuts ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (due February 5, 2026) for raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans to supply its correctional facility, representing one of the few procurements that isolates dried-fruit purchasing as a distinct line of business. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) and Liberty County Schools (Georgia) also issued broader grocery and food-supply contracts during the review period. Activity is geographically dispersed across the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut), Midwest (Missouri, Texas), and West Coast (California), with no single jurisdiction showing dominant repeat volume under this specific code. The dried-apricot code shows minimal independent solicitation activity; participation typically occurs as a line item within larger food-service aggregations where Buy American provisions, USDA compliance, and firm-fixed pricing govern terms.
