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 is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty dried fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The recent solicitations show minimal direct procurement of this specific commodity line; instead, state and local buying bodies tag broader food-service contracts—including fresh produce, dried fruits and nuts, and master grocery supply agreements—under produce and commodity family codes that encompass dried apricot procurement as one line item among dozens or hundreds of others. The code itself reflects a narrow, specialized product within larger nutrition-service contracts rather than a standalone procurement driver. School districts, county boards of education, state departments, and correctional facilities are the primary issuing bodies, with contracts typically structured as annual fixed-price agreements running July 1 through June 30 of the following year, renewable for multiple one-year terms. Buy American provisions requiring domestic content (minimum 51 percent for processed products) appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with the Hancock County Board of Education (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (IFB for Food, due April 29, 2026), Douglas County School System via GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 districts (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) all actively soliciting. Outside Georgia, solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia (Master Grocery K-12, IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri (grocery items, due April 29, 2026); Santa Clara County, California (dried fruits and nuts ITB, due February 5, 2026); the State of Georgia Department (food supplies, due June 22, 2026); Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria food products IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026; prunes IFB IW236532, due February 20, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (commodities for Board of Education, due June 26, 2026). Dried apricots are not explicitly named in any single-commodity posting; they appear only as line items within broader fresh-produce and dried-fruit buys. The Santa Clara County procurement for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, pecans) is the closest parallel and signals demand for specialty dried fruit in institutional food service, though apricots specifically are not mentioned.
