UNSPSC 50321623: Dried honeycot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321623 Dried honeycot apricots (Commodity) is a narrowly focused code capturing the procurement of a single specialty dried-fruit product for institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct solicitation specifically for this item. School districts, county boards of education, and correctional facilities dominate the issuing-body mix in the broader dried-fruit and commodity space that encompasses this code's parent categories, and they soliciting for large-volume grocery and produce contracts that may include dried-fruit line items as components of broader food service offerings rather than standalone purchases. The code itself sits within the larger ecosystem of school nutrition and institutional food procurement, where dried fruits appear as individual line items within comprehensive food-supply solicitations spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and specialty items. Georgia school districts, Texas correctional facilities, and California county corrections systems show the most visible recent activity in dried-fruit procurement.

Recent opportunities with measurable dried-fruit content illustrate the competitive landscape. The County of Santa Clara, California issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (due February 5, 2026) for dried fruits and nuts to support its correctional facility food services, specifying dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix on an all-or-none basis with five-year contract terms and local business preference; the solicitation required unit pricing with firm Year 1 rates and optional annual increases capped at bidder-specified percentages. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 (due February 20, 2026) for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60-70 count size, 25-pound boxes, with minimum orders of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus location. Broader school district food-supply contracts—such as those from Hancock County Schools (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for main-line distribution—incorporate dried fruits as subordinate line items within large-volume annual fixed-price contracts, typically deliverable Monday through Friday during school operational hours. Direct standalone procurement of dried honeycot apricots remains rare in published state and local solicitations; vendors pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition and correctional food-service RFPs and IFBs for line-item inclusion rather than expect dedicated categorical solicitations.
