UNSPSC 50361606: Canned or jarred bonny apricots

The variety of apricots known as bonny apricots that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50361606 Canned or jarred bonny apricots is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products—predominantly canned applesauce, canned pears, and other processed fruit in syrup or juice—for institutional food service operations including corrections facilities, state health and human services centers, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing these products in bulk case quantities (typically 1,900 to 4,760 cases per contract) to support meal programs serving inmate and resident populations. The code reflects actual procurement focused on commodity-grade canned fruit meeting USDA 2011 specifications, packed in their own juice, water, or light syrup, with minimum one-year shelf life and firm, fixed pricing quoted on a per-case basis including transportation and delivery on FOB destination terms.

Issuing bodies are primarily state correctional and health agencies and state-supported living centers, supplemented by specialized procurement divisions. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer—issuing an ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026) and a prior ITB for the same product (1,904 cases, due June 2, 2026)—with pricing historically in the $21.82–$21.84 per case range and preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders totaling 10 percent. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, with canned fruit items embedded in broader food procurement packages; one IFB (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026) names a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years across 210 line items. Activity concentrates in Oregon and Texas, with secondary representation from Illinois (state Chief Procurement Office, FY-27 quarterly food orders). This code shows moderate, steady demand from state institutional food service operations, with Oregon and Texas as the primary active jurisdictions.
