UNSPSC 50331612: Dried organic dina apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331612 Dried organic dina apricots is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily through school district nutrition programs and correctional facility food services, though recent solicitation activity shows limited direct procurement of this specific product. The code encompasses dried apricot products meeting USDA grade and nutritional specifications for use in K-12 school meals, institutional cafeterias, and detention facility menus. School districts and county nutrition departments are the primary issuing bodies under related dried fruit and fresh produce codes, with activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, California, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Solicitations typically require USDA Grade A or Grade B certification, adherence to Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), HACCP food safety plans, and compliance with nutritional standards limiting added sugars and artificial preservatives.

Recent procurement activity under the broader dried fruit and produce category shows school districts across the Southeast and South issuing multi-hundred-line-item food product IFBs and RFPs with annual contract terms and weekly delivery schedules. The County of Santa Clara, California issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 on January 28, 2026, for dried fruits and nuts (including raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mixes) due February 5, 2026, for its Department of Correction food services. School districts in Georgia, including Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System, posted RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce and grocery items between February and April 2026 with response windows of two to four weeks and July 1, 2026 contract start dates. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) similarly solicited master grocery contracts in April 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 on April 23, 2026, specifically for whole, pitted, dried prunes (not dina apricots) with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes. No recent solicitations identified in the dataset explicitly request dried organic dina apricots by name or specification; the code shows minimal targeted activity despite active procurement in adjacent dried fruit and fresh produce categories.
