UNSPSC 50331632: Dried organic lulu belle apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331632 Dried organic lulu belle apricots, a Commodity code, nominally covers specialty dried fruit products, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal direct activity in this specific item. School nutrition programs and correctional facilities procurement offices represent the primary issuing bodies soliciting dried fruit and related food products under this broad commodity family, though the tagged opportunities span fresh produce, general food commodities, and whole dried prunes rather than the dried apricots the code nominally describes. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut), the State of Georgia procurement office, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice each issue nutrition and food service RFPs and IFBs covering multiple fresh and processed food items, with school lunch programs and institutional feeding operations as the consistent end-use function across issuing bodies.

Recent opportunities geographically cluster in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools posted an IFB for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 response deadline covering over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport issued an IFB for commodities (solicitation BNB053266) with a June 26, 2026 deadline requiring 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products; the State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB (304T-26-300CF) for cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas due May 4, 2026. A separate TDCJ bid (IW236532) specifically addressed whole dried prunes, closer in category to dried fruit but with a February 20, 2026 deadline that has passed. The code shows little recent activity narrowly focused on dried apricots as a standalone item; practitioners should verify that responses to broader food-commodity RFPs will accept specialty dried fruit line items or consider whether the code misclassifies the actual procurement intent.
