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 describes specialized dried fruit products for institutional food service. State and local governments procure dried apricots and related dried fruits primarily through school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and county food service operations seeking shelf-stable produce items for meal service and snack programs. Recent solicitations show that these items appear as line items within broader fresh produce, dried fruit, or grocery supply contracts rather than as standalone procurements. The mix of issuing bodies includes school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal food service operations (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education). School nutrition programs dominate the buyer base, with multi-year agreements and quarterly or annual purchasing cycles tied to the academic calendar.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, California, Missouri, and Virginia based on recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition's fresh produce IFB posted June 10, 2026, with response due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 produce line items for delivery to three school sites; Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts, posted January 28, 2026, with response due February 5, 2026, requiring dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis to a correctional facility; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative, posted February 4, 2026, with response due March 4, 2026, covering 72 line items across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations, and most buyers impose firm fixed pricing for contract periods ranging from one to five years with optional renewals.
