UNSPSC 50321652: Dried tri gem apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321652 Dried tri gem apricots is a Commodity code that classifies dried apricot products commonly procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities to support meal preparation and dietary variety. State and local procurement under this code centers on school districts' food service operations, where dried apricots appear as line items within broader fresh produce, dried fruit, and grocery procurement solicitations rather than as standalone contracts. The issuing bodies pursuing this commodity are primarily K–12 school districts (including county-level boards of education and regional cooperative purchasing networks), correctional and detention facilities (county sheriffs' offices and state departments of criminal justice), and state purchasing divisions coordinating food supply across multiple agencies. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, soliciting dried apricots as components of comprehensive fresh produce, grocery, and dried fruit contracts to serve student meals across elementary, middle, and high schools.

Activity under this code concentrates in Georgia and surrounding states, with recent opportunities spanning the Southeast (Georgia school districts and liberty County), the Midwest (Missouri and Texas), and the Southwest (California correctional facilities). Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia, IFB, due June 26, 2026), which itemized over 200 fresh produce and specialty items for school delivery; the County of Santa Clara's Dried Fruits and Nuts solicitation (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) for a five-year term supply contract to its correctional facility, calling for dried cranberries, raisins, and tropical fruit mixes with firm pricing for Year 1 and capped annual increases thereafter; and Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for a main-line distributor supplying approximately 32,000 meals daily with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products are standard across school nutrition solicitations, and firm fixed pricing for full contract periods (typically July 1 through June 30 annually) is consistent across all jurisdictions. Payment terms generally range from Net 30 to Net 45 days, with delivery windows restricted to school operating hours (typically 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. weekdays) and weekly or multiple-weekly frequency required.
