UNSPSC 50361617: Canned or jarred fresno apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361617 Canned or jarred Fresno apricots is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable, canned fruit products for institutional food service—specifically canned applesauce, canned fruit, and similar preserved fruit items for schools, corrections facilities, state hospitals, and senior services. While the code name references Fresno apricots specifically, recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce and general canned fruit under this classification for nutrition programs, correctional institutions, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, county social services, school districts, and state veterans homes. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois (state veterans home network), and Georgia have all solicited under related fruit commodity codes recently. County-level education and social services buyers also appear, including Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Oregon), with Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas HHSC/TDCJ showing repeat procurement activity for canned applesauce and supplemental food commodities through 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) and a prior ITB for 1,904 cases (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026), both delivered FOB Destination to Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items including canned fruits for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0016792V2, originally due March 19, 2026, with a $4.5 million three-year contract ceiling); and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products for senior services (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026). Oregon applies a combined 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders; Texas and Georgia require Buy American compliance and USDA commodity specifications; all solicitations require FOB Destination delivery with prepaid transportation and compliance with food safety standards.
