UNSPSC 50321638: Dried perfection apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321638 Dried perfection apricots is a Commodity code that represents a specific dried fruit product line state and local procurement offices source primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent opportunities show state and local governments buying dried apricots alongside broader fresh produce and processed food procurement contracts that support school cafeterias, institutional feeding programs at correctional facilities, and nutrition departments serving student populations across multiple states.

The issuing-body mix reflects institutional food service procurement: school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia) and state agencies or regional cooperatives handling procurement on behalf of multiple districts. County governments and special-purpose detention facilities also use the code—Santa Clara County in California, for example, procured dried fruits and nuts for its correctional facility food service. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school district opportunities), with additional recent activity in Virginia, Missouri, California, Connecticut, and Texas.
