UNSPSC 50331611: Dried organic darby royal apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331611 Dried organic darby royal apricots is a Commodity code that encompasses dried fruit products supplied to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other state and local institutions. State and local procurement under this code focuses on dried fruits meeting USDA quality standards and nutritional specifications for institutional food service. School districts dominate activity, soliciting dried fruits and comparable dried produce items as components of broader grocery and produce contracts; correctional departments and county detention facilities also procure dried fruits for inmate meal programs. Recent opportunities show that issuing bodies source dried fruits through competitive solicitations structured as IFBs and RFPs with firm fixed pricing, typically on annual or multi-year terms tied to institutional meal counts and service calendars. The code intersects with broader grocery and produce procurement rather than standing alone as a standalone commodity—dried fruits appear as line items within master grocery contracts, fresh produce bids, and specialized dried-fruit-and-nuts procurements, suggesting that vendors pursuing this code territory should position dried fruit supply as part of comprehensive institutional food service capabilities.
