UNSPSC 50331650: Dried organic tomcot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50331650 Dried organic tomcot apricots is a Commodity code encompassing dried stone fruit products sold to school districts, state agencies, and criminal justice systems for institutional food service. The recent solicitations tagged under this code reveal a broader pattern: state and local nutrition programs source dried fruit as one line item within large, multi-category fresh and processed produce RFPs, but the code's nominal specificity to dried tomcot apricots does not align tightly with actual purchasing patterns. School districts and institutional food buyers in the source material solicit across hundreds of produce line items — apples, berries, vegetables, citrus — alongside dried fruit, but bid aggregation and the generalist nature of institutional nutrition procurement mean that individual dried-fruit SKUs like apricots compete within consolidated commodity bundles rather than as standalone solicitations. The issuing bodies are school nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), state departments (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and specialized institutional food services, all operating under Buy American requirements mandating a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools Nutrition issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including dried items with a response deadline of June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school sites with contracts running through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport's Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, seeking commodities for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center with a June 26, 2026 electronic deadline and MBE/CBE applicability. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations, with a May 4, 2026 response deadline and awards made by line item based on best value. TDCJ also issued IFB IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes (Grade B, 60–70 count, 25-pound boxes) with a February 20, 2026 deadline; this represents one of the few single-SKU dried-fruit procurements in the recent record. The code shows scattered, low-volume activity; dried tomcot apricots as a standalone procurement line are not prominently represented in current state and local bid activity.
