UNSPSC 50331620: Dried organic golden sweet apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331620 Dried organic golden sweet apricots is a Commodity code covering specialty dried fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The code encompasses dried fruit items specified to particular quality grades, packaging formats, and portion sizes for institutional food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia state procurement, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and their respective purchasing offices. The actual procurement activity clusters around nutrition programs serving K–12 students and incarcerated populations, where dried fruits appear as line items within broader food service and commodity bids alongside fresh produce, proteins, grains, and other staples rather than as standalone specialty-product solicitations.

Recent activity shows school district nutrition programs in Georgia and Connecticut issuing IFBs for fresh and processed produce (with dried fruits as component items in multi-category commodity bids), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing targeted bids for specific dried fruits such as prunes. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with responses due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 fresh and processed produce line items for delivery through June 30, 2027, under Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic content for processed items). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, with electronic responses due June 26, 2026, for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products under MBE/CBE set-asides and Buy American compliance. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count) with a February 20, 2026 response date. Geographic concentration appears strongest in the South and Southwest (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut) based on recent postings, though state-level procurement vehicles and school district activity occur nationwide.
