UNSPSC 50321642: Dried riland apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321642 Dried riland apricots is a Commodity code that encompasses dried apricot products procured by state and local governments, primarily for institutional food service and nutrition programs. Recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct solicitation for dried apricots as a standalone line item; instead, dried fruits appear as components within broader fresh-produce, grocery, or food-supply contracts serving school districts, correctional facilities, and other public institutions. The sourcing pattern reflects institutional procurement practices where dried fruits are bundled with produce, proteins, and staple foods rather than purchased on a dedicated basis. School nutrition programs and correctional facilities represent the primary buying bodies under this code tier, with procurement offices at county boards of education, city school systems, and state departments of corrections issuing contracts that may include dried fruit specifications as a subset of larger food-service scopes.

Recent activity shows dried fruit procurement concentrated in Georgia, California, and Texas through school nutrition programs and correctional food services. The County of Santa Clara, California issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (due February 5, 2026) for dried fruits and nuts to support the Sheriff's Department Correction facility, specifying dried raisins, dried cranberries, and dried tropical fruit mix on an all-or-none basis alongside nuts; this represents the most direct dried-fruit solicitation in the dataset. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 (due February 20, 2026) for whole, pitted, dried prunes meeting U.S. Grade B quality standards in 60–70 count size, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for delivery to a Corpus Christi location. School district procurement across Hancock County, Georgia (Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27, IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) and multiple other jurisdictions encompasses fresh produce categories that may include some dried fruit line items within broader grocery or produce scopes, but dried riland apricots do not surface as a named commodity in these school nutrition opportunities. The code sees sporadic, narrow-window bidding activity without sustained or frequent issuance patterns.
