UNSPSC 50331606: Dried organic bonny apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331606 Dried organic bonny apricots is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried fruit products for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show the code being applied primarily to broader fresh and processed produce categories serving school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. School districts and state agencies dominate current buying activity, procuring dried fruit as part of larger commodity bundles for cafeteria and foodservice operations. Hancock County Schools in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport in Connecticut both solicited produce and commodity bundles in June 2026 that included dried and processed fruit alongside fresh items, posting IFBs with sealed-bid response structures. The State of Georgia and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also posted food-product solicitations in May and June 2026 covering multiple food categories where dried fruits may appear as line items within larger cafeteria-supply contracts. All recent opportunities require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and USDA grade certification, with pricing firm-fixed over the contract term and payment within 30 to 45 days of receipt and inspection.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) issued their fresh-produce IFB with response due June 26, 2026, naming over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, and specialty fruits for delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted a broader commodities solicitation on June 2, 2026, also due June 26, covering 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, and produce to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products covering approximately 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, vegetables, and fruits for six TDCJ warehouse locations, with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026. An earlier TDCJ prunes-specific solicitation (IW236532) called for 1,400 boxes of U.S. Grade B dried prunes, 60–70 count, in 25-pound boxes for a Corpus Christi location, with amendment acknowledgment required by February 20, 2026. School-district nutrition programs and state correctional systems appear to be the primary buyers under this code.
