UNSPSC 50331618: Dried organic gold brite apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331618 Dried organic gold brite apricots, a Commodity code, nominally identifies a single dried-fruit product line, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code reveal a substantial divergence: the opportunities posted show school districts, state agencies, and criminal justice departments procuring broad fresh-produce and food-supply portfolios with no mention of dried organic apricots specifically. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root crops, melons, and citrus with delivery to three school sites and a contract term from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products under a June 26, 2026 electronic-bid deadline. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 cafeteria food line items spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and produce for warehouse distribution across Texas. A separate TDCJ procurement (Bid IW236532) specifically requested whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality—a dried-fruit item closer to the code's nominal scope—with a February 20, 2026 bid opening. The code shows little activity relevant to dried organic apricots as a distinct commodity.

The recent opportunities span three states: Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with school nutrition programs and state corrections agencies as primary issuing bodies. The Georgia solicitation (Hancock County Schools, IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) and Connecticut opportunity (City of Bridgeport, due June 26, 2026) both require Buy American provisions mandating a minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. The TDCJ cafeteria food procurement (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) specifies USDA grade requirements, FOB Destination delivery to six Texas distribution points, and firm fixed pricing incorporating all shipping and fuel costs. The code shows no concentrated pattern of dried-apricot procurement and appears to reflect a data-tagging misalignment: the opportunities are grounded in broad fresh-produce and food-supply buys typical of school meal programs and corrections departments rather than specialty dried-fruit lines.
