UNSPSC 50331640: Dried organic poppycot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331640 Dried organic poppycot apricots is a Commodity code that encompasses dried stone fruits procured by school districts, state departments, and correctional facilities to supply cafeteria and nutrition operations. State and local government buying under this code focuses on dried fruit products meeting USDA grade standards and packaged in specifications suitable for institutional food service, typically as components of larger food commodity contracts serving student meal programs, inmate populations, and other institutional nutrition centers. The code sees activity primarily from school districts and state agencies operating food service operations, with occasional activity from municipal and state-level centralized procurement offices.

Recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies across Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas soliciting dried fruits as line items within broader food and commodity contracts. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a response date of June 26, 2026, though this opportunity emphasized fresh rather than dried products. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center via IFB due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items with Buy American requirements mandating minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas, extended to May 4, 2026, encompassing approximately 382 line items including dried fruits and specialty items with firm fixed pricing and FOB Destination delivery terms. A prior TDCJ solicitation (Bid No. IW236532) specifically targeted whole pitted dried prunes in February 2026. These opportunities reflect institutional food service demand in the South and Northeast, driven by Buy American provisions and multi-year contract structures with fixed pricing through renewal periods.
