UNSPSC 50321636: Dried palstein apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321636 Dried palstein apricots is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific dried-fruit product but does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The single relevant recent opportunity is the County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) for the Sheriff's Department of Correction food services, which requested dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis for annual delivery to a detention facility. All other opportunities tagged with this code—school nutrition RFPs and IFBs from Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport, Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice—solicited broad food and produce categories (fresh produce, grocery items, proteins, grains, dairy) rather than dried apricots or apricot-specific products. The code shows minimal recent activity aligned to its stated commodity name.

Geographic spread and issuing-body concentration are both heavily skewed toward school districts and state departments in the South and Midwest. School Nutrition Programs dominate the activity—Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), Douglas County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri)—all issuing IFBs or RFPs for annual food supply. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued two solicitations (cafeteria food products and prunes). The County of Santa Clara represents the only non-school, non-state customer in the recent set. The absence of apricot-specific solicitations, combined with the mismatch between the code name and the actual procurement scope, suggests this code sees limited purchasing activity aligned to its commodity definition under state and local contracts.
