UNSPSC 50331631: Dried organic lorna apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331631 Dried organic lorna apricots is a Commodity code for dried stone fruits that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food services. The code's actual scope extends beyond the single product name to encompass broader dried-fruit procurement by school districts and state corrections departments, though recent opportunities show limited activity specifically targeting dried apricots by name. State and local buyers soliciting under this code are predominantly school boards and state agencies operating food service operations. Hancock County Schools in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut both posted fresh produce RFBs in June 2026 for school nutrition programs, though those solicitations cast wider nets across multiple produce categories rather than isolated dried-fruit items. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted two food commodity IFBs in 2026—one in May for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items and one in April for dried prunes—indicating that state corrections agencies represent an institutional buyer segment for dried fruits and related food commodities.

Activity under this code concentrates in the South and Mid-Atlantic regions, with recent solicitations in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. The Hancock County Schools IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013), due June 26, 2026, covered over 200 fresh produce items for delivery to three school sites across the 2026–27 school year under Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed items. The City of Bridgeport's commodities bid (BNB053266), also due June 26, 2026, requested 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and produce for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with MBE/CBE certification applicable under city ordinance and firm pricing through June 30, 2027. The Texas Comptroller's IFB for TDCJ cafeteria food products (304T26300CF), due May 4, 2026, covered approximately 382 items with FOB Destination pricing to six TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas through August 31, 2027, with optional one-year renewals. A prior TDCJ solicitation for whole pitted dried prunes (IW236532) with a February 20, 2026 deadline specified U.S. Grade B quality in 60–70 count size, 1,400-box minimum order to Corpus Christi, reflecting direct commodity procurement for corrections food service. No specific recent opportunities targeting dried organic lorna apricots by name appear in the current block.
