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

UNSPSC 50321618 Dried gold brite apricots is a Commodity code that covers procurement of dried fruit products for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facility cafeterias. State and local governments soliciting under this code include school districts and boards of education, state correctional departments, and municipal school nutrition centers. The scope of work encompasses the supply of dried fruit products meeting USDA grade standards and compliance with Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural commodity content, typically 51 percent for processed products. Vendors must provide HACCP plans, nutritional documentation, product certifications, and liability insurance; delivery is made to designated institutional locations on firm fixed-price contracts with delivery schedules coordinated through established ordering systems such as TITAN School Solutions.
