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 is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned fruit products, though recent solicitations tagged with this code actually span a broader range of canned and processed fruit items—applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and mixed fresh and frozen produce alongside canned goods. State and local governments buy these products primarily for institutional food service: school districts, state corrections and health agencies, county senior services, and municipal boards of education. The work is straightforward commodity procurement, typically competitive sealed-bid or informal quote-based, with pricing evaluated on unit cost and delivery performance. Vendors must meet USDA commodity or FDA food standards, provide proof of liability insurance, maintain food-safety certifications such as HACCP plans where required, and comply with Buy American provisions in school nutrition contexts and state prevailing-wage or prompt-payment rules where applicable.

Activity in the code spans multiple states and jurisdiction types. Recent solicitations have come from Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District (Texas), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem, Oregon, and a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; a prior ODOC applesauce ITB from May 2026 referenced a $21.827-per-case baseline. The Texas HHSC and Department of State Health Services issued a $4.5 million maximum-value IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide across 210 line items including canned and fresh products. Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy has recurring quarterly food procurement on both brand-specific and brand-or-equal terms. Activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with award cycles typically running 12 months through June or August.
