UNSPSC 50321651: Dried tracy apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321651 Dried tracy apricots is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, though recent solicitations show the code receives minimal direct activity focused specifically on dried apricots. The few opportunities tagged to this code involve broad food procurement for K-12 school districts, county corrections departments, and state criminal justice agencies. School districts dominate the issuing body mix, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) all soliciting fresh and processed produce contracts that nominally span dried fruits but focus operationally on fresh produce, vegetables, and staple entrees. The County of Santa Clara, California (Department of Correction) and Texas Department of Criminal Justice represent the corrections segment. The code shows limited recent activity specifically tied to dried apricots as a standalone commodity; the one directly relevant opportunity—Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026)—specified dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans but not dried apricots.

Geographic concentration centers on the Southeast and Texas, with Georgia school districts filing the largest share of recent produce-related opportunities. The most directly relevant opportunity is Santa Clara County, California's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, which procured multiple dried fruit categories including 1,000 cases annually of dried cranberries and 3,000 cases of tropical fruit mix blend for Elmwood Correctional Facility, requiring five-year firm pricing for Year 1 with capped annual escalators in years 2–5, FOB destination delivery 10–15 days after order, and a local business preference of five percent. Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21) and Prunes solicitation IW236532 (due February 20, 2026) demonstrate correctional-system procurement of dried fruits, though neither explicitly named dried apricots. School district opportunities including Hancock County Schools IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District (due April 29, 2026), and Liberty County Board of Education IFB (due April 29, 2026) all solicited broad fresh and processed produce but did not itemize dried apricots as a line item. The code exhibits weak current demand signal; vendors pursuing this commodity should monitor correctional-facility food service RFPs and dried-fruit category expansions within school district master grocery contracts rather than expect standalone dried-apricot solicitations.
