UNSPSC 50331633: Dried organic modesto apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331633 Dried organic modesto apricots is a Commodity code that encompasses dried fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities to supply cafeteria operations and food service distribution networks. The recent solicitation activity under this code shows that state and local governments buy dried fruits as components of broader food commodity contracts rather than as standalone line items—the code appears in school board nutrition RFPs and state department food supply IFBs alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the State Comptroller), and municipal nutrition centers. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic ingredients for processed fruit products and HACCP plans mandatory for vendors.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce RFP (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) and the Bridgeport Board of Education Commodities RFP (IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) both solicit produce and food products for the 2026–27 school year with firm pricing through June 30, 2027; neither opportunity names dried organic apricots explicitly in available summaries, but both encompass fruit categories under broader commodity scope. The State of Georgia Food, Supplies, and Other Kitchen Products IFB (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products IFB (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) cover multi-item food baskets across institutional feeding operations. A prior Texas TDCJ Bid (IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes) demonstrates that correctional systems procure specific dried fruit products, though that opportunity has passed. The code shows limited recent standalone solicitation activity for dried organic apricots; most activity clusters dried fruits within larger food commodity competitions driven by school year cycles and institutional budget schedules.
