UNSPSC 50361610: Canned or jarred clutha sun apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361610 Canned or jarred clutha sun apricots is a Commodity code capturing preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show that agencies interpret this code broadly to include various canned and preserved fruit products — applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce alongside canned items — reflecting how purchasing offices tag food service buys. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with districts in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia soliciting fruit and produce contracts; correctional and health facilities in Oregon and Texas also appear regularly. State departments, county boards of education, and independent school districts are the primary buyers. A representative recent opportunity is the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem in five truck loads, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a combined 10 percent Oregon goods and residency preference. Another is Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service delivery to the central warehouse, issued under Texas Education Code Section 44.031(3).

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest — Texas (particularly school districts and HHSC), Georgia (multiple county school systems and boards of education), and Oregon (ODOC) see the heaviest recent volume. The code's activity is almost entirely school nutrition procurement, with smaller representation from state correctional and health-services agencies. Most opportunities are ITBs or RFPs with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, quarterly or annual contract terms through June 30 or August 31, and Buy American provisions where applicable. Issuing bodies typically require general liability insurance of $1 million minimum, compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA standards, and delivery to multiple school sites or central warehouses on weekly schedules. Pricing remains firm for contract periods, with midterm adjustments permitted only for documented manufacturer price increases of 5 percent or greater in some districts. The code shows consistent, active procurement across multiple state and local jurisdictions through mid-2026, with school districts driving volume and responsiveness timelines typically 30–60 days from posting.
