UNSPSC 50331608: Dried organic castlebrite apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331608 Dried organic castlebrite apricots is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not solicit dried apricots specifically. Instead, the code shows activity in broad fresh and processed food procurement for school nutrition programs and state institutional foodservice — particularly school lunch contracts and correctional facility cafeteria supply. The work being solicited includes fresh produce for K-12 school districts, eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, processed vegetables and fruits, grains, and specialty items, all delivered to school nutrition centers and institutional warehouses. Issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), and municipalities acting on behalf of school boards. The code shows little activity specific to dried organic apricots; most recent opportunities solicit diverse commodity baskets or individual items like whole dried prunes, not specialty dried fruit products.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia, IFB due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple categories for delivery to three school locations), the City of Bridgeport COMMODITIES procurement (Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Connecticut, IFB due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center), and Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts statewide, IFB due May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items for TDCJ warehouse locations). Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products appear standard across school-based solicitations. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried organic castlebrite apricots) and the actual recent opportunities suggests this code may be misapplied or represents residual taxonomy classification with limited current market activity in the specific product line.
