UNSPSC 50331602: Dried organic apache apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331602 Dried organic apache apricots is a Commodity-tier code that represents dried fruit products procured by state and local governments, primarily school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. State and local buyers under this code seek dried fruits meeting specific quality grades, packaging standards, and domestic content requirements for cafeteria and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state correctional departments sourcing dried fruits as components of broader food commodity bundles rather than as standalone line items; the code's scope encompasses USDA-graded dried fruit products suitable for large-volume institutional meal preparation, with emphasis on compliance with the Buy American Provision (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP plans, and 24/7 recall accessibility.

The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Georgia and Texas), and state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut, with recent opportunities posted in May and June 2026.
