UNSPSC 50321654: Dried westley apricots

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

UNSPSC 50321654 Dried westley apricots, a Commodity code, does not match the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code overwhelmingly reflect fresh produce and institutional food-service commodities — fresh apples, berries, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and frozen entrees for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities — rather than dried westley apricots or dried fruit products specifically. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The five most recent state and local opportunities posted between May and June 2026 span school districts, state purchasing divisions, and correctional agencies across Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, but none target dried apricots or dried fruit procurement. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce covering over 200 line items across multiple fruit and vegetable varieties for the 2026-27 school year, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued separate IFBs for cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) and whole pitted dried prunes (due February 20, 2026), the latter representing the only dried-fruit category in the recent set. The State of Georgia posted a broader food supplies solicitation due June 22, 2026, with scope details in an attached PDF. The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement activity suggests either a data-entry error in the UNSPSC tagging or classification drift in the state and local procurement systems using this code.
