UNSPSC 50321619: Dried goldbar apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321619 Dried goldbar apricots is a Commodity code that state and local governments purchase primarily through school district nutrition programs and state food-service operations. The recent opportunities in this code show school districts and state agencies procuring dried fruits and related produce for child nutrition programs, though the posted opportunities include broader fresh and processed produce categories rather than dried apricots specifically. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year under IFB with a June 26, 2026 due date; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education Nutrition Center issued an IFB for 115 line items of food commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit products, also due June 26, 2026; the State of Georgia posted an IFB for food, supplies, and kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across five geographic regions, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. These procurements emphasize Buy American compliance requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products, HACCP planning and food-safety certification, and firm fixed pricing for the contract term, typically running July through June or through August 31 of the following year.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Texas, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Hancock County Schools and the State of Georgia), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Texas (TDCJ). School districts and state correctional or food-service operations are the primary issuing bodies. TDCJ has posted multiple dried-fruit procurements, including a February 2026 IFB for whole pitted dried prunes in 60–70 count size with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes and U.S. Grade B quality requirements. While the code nominally describes dried goldbar apricots, the recent opportunities show state and local buyers purchasing broader dried-fruit and produce categories through school nutrition and institutional food-service operations; dried apricots appear to be one line item within larger commodity food solicitations rather than a standalone contracted product.
