UNSPSC 50331647: Dried organic royal orange apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331647 Dried organic royal orange apricots (Commodity) shows limited recent state and local procurement activity grounded in school nutrition and institutional food service. The code's nominal scope — dried organic apricots with specific varietal designation — diverges significantly from the recent opportunities posted under it. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases in Connecticut, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all solicited fresh produce and institutional food items in June and May 2026, but none of the detailed line-item scopes in these solicitations explicitly name dried organic royal orange apricots as a line item. The Georgia state solicitation (PE55080NONST2027000000013) covered over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty items with firm pricing for the 2026–27 school year. The Bridgeport solicitation (BNB053266) requested 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products bid (304T26300CF) encompassed approximately 382 line items including proteins, frozen specialty entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, baking supplies, condiments, canned and fresh vegetables, fruits, and staple items. A dried-prunes procurement (IW236532) issued by TDCJ in April 2026 specified U.S. Grade B whole pitted prunes but not the organic royal orange apricot variety.

The code shows activity primarily among school districts, state education departments, and correctional institutions in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, though the recent opportunities tagged to this code appear to use a mismatched or overly broad classification. All Buy American provisions across these solicitations required a minimum of 51 percent domestic content for processed products. Hancock County's IFB with a June 26, 2026 response date and Bridgeport's IFB with the same June 26, 2026 deadline both imposed firm fixed pricing for their respective contract periods and required HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and vendor certifications. The Texas TDCJ solicitations (both the cafeteria food bid due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2, and the prunes bid with a revised February 20, 2026 opening) required detailed USDA compliance, manufacturer documentation, and insurance minimums. This code shows little directly relevant recent activity for dried organic royal orange apricots as a standalone procurement line item; opportunities tagged to it appear to be general fresh produce or institutional food categories that do not target the specific commodity.
