UNSPSC 50321650: Dried tomcot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321650 Dried tomcot apricots, a Commodity code, covers dried apricot products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and correctional facility food services. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying dried fruits as components of broader produce and food commodity contracts rather than as standalone line items. The Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center commodities bid, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products procurement all demonstrate that dried fruits enter the procurement stream as part of integrated food supply chains serving institutional feeding operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state correctional agencies, with occasional participation from state food service procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple end-using departments.

Activity under the code concentrates in the South and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Hancock County Schools (Georgia) IFB, posted June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26, 2026, seeks fresh produce across 200+ line items for delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027, with Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed items. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB No. 304T-26-300CF, posted May 4, 2026 (originally due April 21, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4), calls for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including canned and fresh fruits for six TDCJ distribution points across Texas, with firm fixed pricing incorporating all shipping and delivery fees through August 31, 2027, plus two optional one-year renewal periods. A separate TDCJ bid (IW236532), posted April 23, 2026 with response due February 20, 2026, sought 1,400 boxes of whole pitted dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count) in 25-pound sealed boxes for a Corpus Christi location, requiring USDA grade certification and amendment acknowledgment. The City of Bridgeport bid BNB053266, posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, covers 115 commodities line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with MBE/CBE certifications applicable and Net 45 payment terms.
