UNSPSC 50321621: Dried goldrich apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321621 Dried goldrich apricots is a Commodity code that captures dried fruit products state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and state corrections departments sourcing dried stone fruits and specialty dried items as components of larger food-supply contracts, though the code itself represents a narrow product line within broader cafeteria and institutional commodity procurement. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state corrections agencies, with school nutrition programs (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice representing the largest recurring buyers in the available opportunities. These purchasing cycles typically occur annually or biannually to align with fiscal-year food-service planning.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut based on recent postings, with Texas corrections procurement and Georgia school districts driving the most recent solicitation volume. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce and specialty items across 200+ line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items with response due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum from April 21). The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases requested bids for 115 commodity line items supplying the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026. State of Georgia food procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009) with due date June 22, 2026 indicates broader institutional sourcing. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products are standard across school lunch contracts, and MBE/CBE certifications apply in certain jurisdictions. Vendors must maintain USDA compliance documentation, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, and proof of appropriate liability insurance; payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days, with firm pricing for annual contract periods.
