UNSPSC 50331630: Dried organic lambertin apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331630 Dried organic lambertin apricots is a Commodity code that sits at the bottom of a fresh and processed produce hierarchy. State and local governments buy this code primarily as part of broader school nutrition and institutional food procurement. The recent opportunities show that school districts and state corrections agencies are sourcing dried fruit and fresh produce together under single-award or multi-award IFBs, with dried items like prunes and apricots appearing as line items within larger food-supply contracts rather than as standalone procurements. Issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state-level corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state purchasing departments (State of Georgia). The work involves sealed competitive bidding under IFB notice types, with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products, HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and compliance with USDA grade and food-safety standards.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Southwest. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of fresh and processed produce for school nutrition across the 2026–27 school year, with delivery to three school locations. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted a commodities IFB on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, sourcing 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center.
