UNSPSC 50361619: Canned or jarred goldbar apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361619 Canned or jarred goldbar apricots is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line that state and local governments procure through their food service and institutional nutrition programs. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show minimal activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope; instead, the opportunities reflect broad food procurement by correctional departments, school nutrition programs, and health service agencies buying canned and preserved fruit products across multiple categories, not apricots specifically. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments, school districts at multiple scales, county boards of education, and state health agencies, with school nutrition programs emerging as the dominant buyer segment. Canned fruit is a commodity purchased through ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs that typically incorporate Buy American requirements, USDA compliance mandates, and firm fixed pricing structures.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and upper Midwest—Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (state health agencies and school districts), Georgia (multiple county school systems), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education)—with scattered activity in Illinois and Maryland. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases due July 31, 2026), with a historical award price of $21.84 per case and state preferences totaling 10 percent for Oregon-fabricated goods and headquartered bidders; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide serving 23 qualified ordering entities across Texas with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with deliveries commencing July 1, 2026. Most school nutrition procurements enforce Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, carry standard commercial liability insurance minimums of $1 million per occurrence, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or on a line-item basis to multiple vendors based on price and service quality.
