UNSPSC 50331616: Dried organic flaming gold apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331616 Dried organic flaming gold apricots is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single dried-fruit product line, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect purchases of apricots specifically. The recent opportunities posted under this code span fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), processed food commodities (proteins, dairy, grains, canned goods), and specialty dried fruits (prunes), with the majority of solicitations originating from school nutrition programs and state corrections departments. School districts issue the largest share of recent notices under this code, including Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, both seeking comprehensive fresh and processed food supplies for nutrition centers. State-level buyers—the Georgia Department of Corrections and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice—also post regularly, procuring cafeteria food products and specialty items for institutional feeding programs. The code appears to serve as a catch-all taxonomy for food commodity procurement rather than as a narrowly defined product category.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut based on recent postings. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a June 26 response deadline, soliciting over 200 line items of fresh produce for delivery to three school locations during the 2026–27 school year under Buy American requirements. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted a commodities IFB (BNB053266) on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and produce for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF) with a May 4, 2026 response deadline, requesting approximately 382 line items spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, and staples for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas with firm fixed pricing through August 31, 2027. A separate TDCJ solicitation (Bid IW236532) posted April 23, 2026, sought whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality for delivery to Corpus Christi, with a February 20, 2026 opening date. All opportunities require HACCP certification, USDA compliance, Buy American verification where applicable, and proof of liability insurance; many enforce firm fixed pricing for the contract term.
