UNSPSC 50321627: Dried kandy kot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321627 Dried kandy kot apricots is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific dried fruit product, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it reflects broader school nutrition and institutional food sourcing rather than this specialized item. The code shows limited direct activity: one recent opportunity—Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts supporting county correctional food services—mentions dried fruits generically but does not specifically solicit dried kandy kot apricots. The overwhelming majority of opportunities posted under this code instead cover fresh produce, staple groceries, and comprehensive food supply contracts for K-12 school districts and state facilities, suggesting a tagging or taxonomy mismatch in the underlying procurement database. School districts and institutional buyers dominate the issuing-body mix, including Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Douglas County School System (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. None of these solicitations center on the specific product named in the code.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce for SY27 with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items and deliveries to three school sites; Liberty County Board of Education's IFB for food products with bids due April 29, 2026, encompassing over 400 food items across multiple categories; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323) with bids due April 27, 2026, requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The Santa Clara County ITB for dried fruits and nuts, due February 5, 2026, represents the only opportunity explicitly addressing dried-fruit procurement; it called for raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for correctional food services with a five-year contract term and local-business preference available. Prospectors should verify code assignment accuracy before pursuing opportunities under 50321627, as the actual procurement activity reflects general school and institutional food supply rather than a niche dried-fruit commodity.
