UNSPSC 50321638: Dried perfection apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321638 Dried perfection apricots, a Commodity code, covers dried fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state food supply operations. While the code name specifies apricots, recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring dried and fresh produce broadly — the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, melons, and citrus; the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's commodities bid for eggs, poultry, cheese, and produce; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food bid covering proteins, dairy, grains, canned vegetables, and fruits; and a standalone TDCJ bid for whole pitted dried prunes. The dominant issuing bodies are school districts and state correctional systems, with Georgia's statewide procurement division also active in the category.

School districts in Georgia and Connecticut, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Georgia dominate recent posting activity. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce across three school sites for the 2026–27 school year, requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products and firm pricing including transportation. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted a commodities RFQ (due June 26, 2026) for 115 line items to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also requiring Buy American compliance and MBE/CBE certifications under city ordinance. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued an IFB (extended to May 4, 2026) on behalf of TDCJ for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five Texas warehouse regions, with firm fixed pricing and FOB destination delivery. A separate TDCJ bid (IW236532, due February 20, 2026) targeted whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with 1,400-box minimum order for Corpus location delivery. Solicitations require HACCP plans, USDA compliance verification, comprehensive liability insurance, and vendor references. The geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut.
