UNSPSC 50361609: Canned or jarred clutha gold apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361609 Canned or jarred Clutha Gold apricots is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and jarred fruit products—primarily canned applesauce, canned pears, and other shelf-stable fruit preparations—for institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, state health and human services centers, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show the code encompassing broader canned fruit categories when matched to actual procurement scope; the Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two separate invitations to bid (ITBs) for canned fruit applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026) specifying USDA 2011 commodity specifications, five-percent state-of-origin and resident-bidder preferences, and delivery to centralized distribution centers. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has procured supplemental food and consumable products including canned goods across 210 line items for state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide (HHS0016792, due February 23, 2026, and HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026). School districts including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) have solicited canned fruit as components of broader food service contracts spanning produce, proteins, and prepared items. Issuing bodies are predominantly state correctional and health-services agencies, with secondary activity from school districts and state food service operations; school nutrition programs anchor a large share of the recent opportunities.

Geographic concentration centers on Oregon (two ODOC applesauce bids), Texas (HHSC supplemental food procurements serving statewide facilities), Georgia (Hancock County and Douglas County school districts), Missouri (Rockwood school district), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education nutrition center). The code shows moderate recent activity across multiple jurisdictions with no dominant single buyer. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case (historical pricing), delivered to Salem in five full truckloads with all transportation prepaid on FOB destination terms and 5 percent combined state preferences; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned fruit for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million for the prior contract period and unit-rate pricing with CPI-indexed adjustments permitted at HHSC's discretion. Both solicitations require general commercial liability insurance, firm fixed pricing, and compliance with USDA commodity and FDA standards. School district canned fruit procurements cluster under broader grocery or food supply contracts rather than commodity-specific bids, indicating limited standalone market for this code relative to integrated food service sourcing.
