UNSPSC 50321634: Dried moorpark apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321634 Dried moorpark apricots is a Commodity code covering dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities show that buyers are sourcing dried fruits as components of broader food-supply contracts for cafeteria operations, kitchen facilities, and nutrition centers rather than as standalone specialty purchases. School districts, state procurement divisions acting on behalf of correctional facilities, and municipal education departments constitute the main issuing bodies, with work ranging from single-item line bids within large commodities RFPs to itemized produce and food-supply IFBs covering dozens or hundreds of SKUs. Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content (typically 51 percent for processed products) appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations, and vendors must comply with USDA grading standards, provide HACCP plans or nutritional analyses, maintain recall accessibility, and carry appropriate commercial general liability insurance.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce including specialty fruits under solicitation PE67080NONST2027000000013 with a June 26, 2026 response deadline; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products for its Board of Education Nutrition Center (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026); the State of Georgia Department posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products RFP (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). A prior TDCJ procurement for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus location (IW236532) demonstrates direct commodity-level sourcing within the category, though that bid had closed as of the source date.
