UNSPSC 50361618: Canned or jarred gold brite apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361618 Canned or jarred gold brite apricots is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying canned applesauce, canned pears, and fresh produce alongside dried fruit bars for K-12 school districts and institutional cafeterias. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, followed by state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, and regional education cooperatives. Issuing bodies across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri have posted opportunities in the past six months, with notable repeat activity from Oregon Department of Corrections (two applesauce solicitations in May and July 2026) and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County systems all soliciting fresh produce and food items on overlapping timelines). The code shows mixed applicability to actual recent opportunities—while several solicitations explicitly tag fruit and food products under UNSPSC 50361618 or related commodity codes, the broader block reflects institutional food service procurement spanning fresh produce, processed fruits, dairy, proteins, and staple groceries rather than canned apricots specifically.

Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon-preference (5 percent for Oregon goods, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders); Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to serve the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), with historical contract value of $1.5 million annually and a contract term through August 31, 2028 plus extension; and Hancock County Board of Education soliciting fresh produce under IFB SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items with a July 1, 2026 start and firm pricing required through June 30, 2027. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content appear consistently across school district procurements. Contracts typically require FOB destination pricing with freight prepaid, firm fixed pricing for the contract period, general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million, and delivery within 30 to 45 days of order. Most jurisdictions reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors and do not specify set-asides or restrictions on vendor type.
