UNSPSC 50321643: Dried rival apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321643 Dried rival apricots is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure this specific dried fruit through formal solicitation. The recent opportunities block contains no active bids for dried apricots; instead, the indexed records show school districts, county correctional facilities, and state agencies buying broader food-supply contracts that may incidentally include dried fruits as commodity line items within larger produce, snack, or ingredient categories. Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts at its correctional facility specified dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix but not apricots. Dried fruits appear in school nutrition solicitations as ancillary items within 900+ line item grocery bids (Rockwood R-VI School District) or 72+ line item fresh-produce contracts (Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools), but these solicitations do not isolate dried apricots as a standalone procurement line. The code's scope—dried rival apricots meeting USDA grade standards and specific pack sizes—aligns with commodity buys for detention facilities, correctional institutions, and K–12 food service, yet current market activity shows these items bundled into broader food supply contracts rather than solicited independently.

Issuing bodies include Georgia school districts (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Douglas County Schools, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), California county corrections (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department), and Texas state corrections (TDCJ). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with districts buying fresh produce and grocery items on annual IFB or RFP cycles. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in California, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice's prune procurement (Bid IW236532, due February 2026) and Santa Clara County's dried fruits solicitation (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) represent the nearest parallel opportunities, but neither specifically targets dried apricots. Pursuit of this code requires identifying correctional food-service or school nutrition RFPs that break out dried fruits by type and monitoring those solicitations when they appear; current velocity does not support active pursuit unless sourcing dried apricots as a reseller component within broader food-supply contracts.
