UNSPSC 50361620: Canned or jarred golden sweet apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361620 Canned or jarred golden sweet apricots is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable, packaged fruit products—specifically canned or jarred apricots in syrup or juice—procured by state and local food service operations, correctional facilities, school districts, senior services programs, and state-supported living centers. The code appears in a small but consistent subset of recent state and local solicitations focused on bulk food procurement for institutional dining, nutrition programs, and emergency food assistance. State and local agencies solicit canned and jarred fruit products as line items within broader food commodity buys rather than as standalone contracts; the code captures one of many preserved-fruit SKUs bid alongside proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and consumable supplies. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (school nutrition), state corrections departments, county senior services divisions, state health and human services agencies overseeing residential facilities, and municipal school district nutrition centers. Most recent activity clusters around institutional food-service renewal cycles and quarterly or annual contracting for statewide facility networks.

Recent opportunities show canned or jarred fruit appearing as a component within larger food and consumable RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued separate ITBs for canned applesauce (Solicitation S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026), requesting approximately 1,904 to 4,760 cases delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem under USDA 2011 commodity standards; the January 2026 award price to MJ Kellner was $21.827 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026) for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide included fresh, frozen, and canned fruits among 210 line items with a three-year maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million and a requirement to respond to a minimum of 95 percent of line items. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) to the Department of Community Services included canned vegetables and other shelf-stable products alongside apricots. The Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy solicited recurring quarterly weekly food orders (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants, due August 24, 2026 and June 17, 2026) covering multiple produce and fruit categories. Geographic concentration in recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, and Connecticut, with no standout single jurisdiction dominating the code's spend; activity is distributed across state corrections systems, state facility networks, county school districts, and municipal nutrition centers.
