UNSPSC 50361608: Canned or jarred castlebrite apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361608 Canned or jarred castlebrite apricots is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity shows the code used for a much broader range of canned and packaged food products serving institutional food service operations — applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and miscellaneous grocery items — rather than the narrow specialty product the code name suggests. School districts, state correctional and health facilities, and boards of education are the primary issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. The scope of work spans procurement of shelf-stable and refrigerated food products delivered to central warehouses and school nutrition facilities, with pricing typically quoted per unit or case on an FOB destination basis and delivery timelines ranging from 45 to 60 days for bulk orders or weekly for standing food service contracts.
