UNSPSC 50331607: Dried organic bulida apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331607 Dried organic bulida apricots is a Commodity code that captures dried fruit products procured by state and local education and correctional agencies for food service operations. State and local governments buy dried fruits under this code primarily as components of cafeteria menus, nutritional programs, and food supply contracts. The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal nutrition departments. These procurement offices source dried fruits as part of broader food commodity buys that include fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and specialty items, with contracts typically running twelve months and tied to Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content thresholds for processed products.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce across 200+ line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, covering dried fruits among apples, berries, and specialty items; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (June 2, 2026 IFB) solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center including fruit products with electronic submission by June 26, 2026; the State of Georgia (May 15, 2026) issued an IFB for food, supplies, and kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (May 4, 2026 IFB) requested cafeteria food products across five geographic regions with a due date of May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum to May 4, 2026). The code shows limited standalone activity for dried apricots specifically—the TDCJ prunes solicitation (IW236532, posted April 23, 2026, due February 20, 2026) represents a discrete dried-fruit procurement—but dried fruits appear more commonly embedded within larger fresh-produce and commodity buys serving school nutrition centers and institutional food service operations.
