UNSPSC 50321617: Dried fresno apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321617 Dried fresno apricots, a Commodity code, does not reflect the majority of state and local procurement activity currently solicited under this taxonomy entry. The recent opportunities block shows school nutrition programs and correctional facilities purchasing broadly across fresh produce and food commodities — apples, berries, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and grains — rather than dried apricots specifically. The Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB encompasses over 200 line items spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty items, with delivery to three school locations and a contract period running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued a commodities bid for 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for its Board of Education Nutrition Center, with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026. School nutrition programs and correctional facilities dominate the issuing bodies, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procuring cafeteria food products across five geographic areas and the State of Georgia soliciting food, supplies, and other kitchen products.

Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas represent the primary geographic focus of recent activity under this code tier, though the Hancock County Schools opportunity indicates demand in Mississippi as well. Representative solicitations include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with sealed bids due June 26, 2026 at Hancock Central Middle/High School and other delivery sites; the City of Bridgeport's commodities RFQ (solicitation BNB053266) with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026 through the OpenGov Procurement Portal; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items with responses extended to May 4, 2026. All school nutrition solicitations enforce the Buy American provision, requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. The code shows active procurement but limited activity specifically targeting dried apricots as a standalone commodity; opportunities are predominantly multi-item food supply contracts in which apricots, if sourced, would be one among many produce or processed-food line items.
