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 covering dried stone fruits and related products procured by school districts and state corrections agencies for food service operations. State and local governments buy dried fruit products under this code primarily as ingredients and components for cafeteria meal preparation and nutrition programs, rather than as standalone commodity distributions. The buying base spans school nutrition departments and state institutional food service programs, with school districts appearing as the dominant issuing bodies in recent activity. Issuing jurisdictions include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia), city boards of education (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state education and corrections departments (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and statewide procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies.

Recent opportunities show dried stone fruit procurement concentrated in the Southeast and South. Hancock County Schools Nutrition in Georgia posted IFB SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items covering the 2026–27 school year with a response deadline of June 26, 2026; the scope included multiple produce categories but did not itemize dried tri gem apricots specifically in the posted summary. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, requesting commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026, spanning 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products under Buy American requirements. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF) due May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items for warehouse distribution to multiple TDCJ locations. A separate TDCJ solicitation (IW236532) for whole pitted dried prunes with a February 20, 2026 response date demonstrates direct procurement of dried stone fruits for institutional food service. All school-based solicitations require Buy American compliance with at least 51 percent domestic content for processed products.
