UNSPSC 50331604: Dried organic black apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331604 Dried organic black apricots, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state food supply chains. The code encompasses specifically dried apricot products meeting organic certification and quality standards. School districts and state nutrition centers dominate the buying base under this code, sourcing dried fruit alongside fresh produce and processed food items as part of broader cafeteria supply contracts. Recent solicitations show dried fruit embedded within larger commodity food buys rather than as standalone line items; the code sees activity from school nutrition departments managing multi-category food procurement and state-level corrections and institutional food services consolidating purchases across product families.

Recent opportunities confirm activity in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Mississippi. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products across approximately 382 line items to five geographic warehouse areas, though dried apricots were not explicitly listed among the detailed item examples provided. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) on May 15, 2026, with a June 22, 2026, response date; scope and item detail are contained in the attached solicitation document. Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026, response date—a representative school nutrition RFB—but dried organic black apricots do not appear on that fresh-produce list. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested commodity bids (BNB053266) on June 2, 2026, for its Board of Education Nutrition Center, with electronic submission due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items in produce and protein categories. Recent solicitations do not explicitly name dried organic black apricots as standalone commodities, suggesting the code may see limited standalone activity or integration within broader processed-fruit or specialty-dried-goods frameworks under state and local school nutrition and correctional food service procurement.
