UNSPSC 50361629: Canned or jarred king apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361629 Canned or jarred king apricots, a Commodity code, sees limited direct purchasing activity in state and local procurement; instead, state and local governments soliciting under related fruit and produce codes are buying canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, and mixed food products for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state health and human services agencies. Recent opportunities tagged broadly under fruit and vegetable commodity codes show school districts, state departments of corrections, county education systems, and state health commissions purchasing canned and processed fruits as components of much larger mixed-food solicitations rather than as standalone line items. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026) in quantities of approximately 4,760 cases under a firm fixed-price arrangement with historical pricing near $21.84 per case, while Austin Independent School District requested dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services jointly solicited supplemental food and consumable products including canned goods across multiple state facilities. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System all issuing grocery and produce RFPs or ITBs in the March-to-April 2026 window; county and state agencies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, and Georgia state health systems appear as secondary but significant purchasers.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South—Georgia, Texas, and South Carolina—and the Pacific Northwest, with Oregon's Department of Corrections appearing twice (February and May 2026 solicitations for canned applesauce) and Texas agencies (HHSC, Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ, and multiple school districts including Dallas and Austin ISDs) representing substantial cumulative volume. Canned-fruit-specific line items appear sporadically within broader food supply RFPs and ITBs rather than as standalone solicitations; when present, they are typically priced on a firm, all-inclusive per-case or per-unit basis with no fuel surcharges permitted and delivery required within 45 to 60 days of order. Buy American and domestic-content preferences apply across most school district solicitations, and general commercial liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence is standard. The code itself shows no dominant incumbent or repeat vendor pattern in the recent opportunities block, and no state has issued a dedicated solicitation for canned apricots specifically; pursuit would depend on bundling capability within larger grocery or produce contracts or identifying direct-requisition relationships with corrections and state-facility food services.
