UNSPSC 50321616 Dried flaming gold apricots is a Commodity code that describes dried fruit products procured by state and local governments, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with the nominal product category. School districts and state criminal justice agencies are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code, requesting produce and food items for cafeteria, nutrition, and institutional feeding programs. The scope spans fresh and processed agricultural commodities including dried fruits, fresh produce, and specialized food products required to meet USDA grade standards, Buy American domestic-content requirements (typically 51 percent for processed items), HACCP food-safety plans, and strict delivery and packaging specifications. Vendors must provide nutritional data, food-safety certifications, proof of domestic sourcing where applicable, commercial general liability insurance, and compliance documentation including E-Verify authorization and debarment verification.
