UNSPSC 50361623: Canned or jarred honeycot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361623 Canned or jarred honeycot apricots (Commodity) captures preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service, though recent opportunities under this code show substantial activity in canned applesauce, dried fruit products, and fresh produce alongside limited direct honeycot apricot solicitation. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related preserved-fruit codes include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Schools, Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Dallas ISD), state departments of corrections and health services (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport). The work spans commodity supply for cafeteria and institutional meal service, with products delivered in bulk cases or pallets to central warehouses or distributed directly to individual school sites and care facilities. Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, delivery to Salem Distribution Center, bids due July 31, 2026) and Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (210 line items including canned goods, maximum potential value $4.5 million, initial term through August 31, 2026 with two renewal options) exemplify current procurement scale and scope.

Geographic concentration centers on the South and Southwest, with significant recent activity in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ procurements, Dallas ISD), Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, City of Bridgeport Connecticut), and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with volume procurement driven by federal school lunch program funding and Buy American / domestic-content requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products). Recent opportunities consistently specify USDA compliance, child nutrition labeling standards, firm fixed pricing with limited midterm adjustment provisions (typically requiring 5 percent or greater manufacturer price increases), and delivery in cases or bulk pallets to central warehouses or direct to school sites; many include cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative for Georgia districts, Texas SmartBuy administrative fees). Representative procurement values range from approximately $41,000 (Oregon ODOC, 1,904 cases applesauce at historical $21.83 per case) to $9 million annually (Douglas County food service distribution) and $4.5 million over three years (Texas HHSC supplemental food statewide). Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—Oregon applies combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; Texas and Georgia enforce Buy American provisions; Bridgeport enforces MBE/CBE certification under City Ordinance; no federal disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides appear in the state and local sources reviewed.
