UNSPSC 50331645: Dried organic royal apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331645 Dried organic royal apricots is a Commodity code that describes dried fruit products procured by state and local governments, primarily school districts and correctional facilities, for nutrition programs and inmate food services. Recent state and local solicitations show that dried fruits under this code are purchased as components of broader food-supply contracts rather than as standalone specialty items; the code's nominal focus on organic royal apricots specifically does not align with actual procurement patterns, which emphasize dried fruits generically (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mixes) and other dried items (prunes, walnuts, pecans) procured in bulk for institutional food service. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia); correctional facilities also procure under this code, as evidenced by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (prunes) and Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff (dried fruits and nuts for detention facilities). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with additional solicitations in California, Virginia, Missouri, and Connecticut.

Representative recent opportunities include the County of Santa Clara ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (Dried Fruits and Nuts, due February 5, 2026) procuring raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on a five-year contract for the Elmwood Correctional Facility; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IW236532 (whole, pitted, dried prunes, due February 20, 2026) for TDCJ distribution across multiple locations; and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (Master Grocery K-12, due April 27, 2026) encompassing diverse food categories including dried fruits as part of a comprehensive school nutrition supply contract. The Hancock County Schools IFB #SN002-2027 (Fresh Produce, due June 26, 2026) does not include dried fruits despite the code assignment, indicating a tagging mismatch. Most school-based solicitations establish firm fixed pricing for 12-month contract terms running July 1 through June 30, with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products and HACCP plan submissions mandatory for all vendors.
