UNSPSC 50361630: Canned or jarred lambertin apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361630 Canned or jarred lambertin apricots is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services residential centers, and senior services operations. Recent solicitations show canned and jarred fruit items (applesauce, mixed canned fruits, and dried fruit products) across a wider institutional food procurement landscape where this specific commodity appears as one line item among dozens in larger food-supply buys rather than as a standalone purchase focus. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), county boards of education (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), municipalities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District, Texas), and state-supported living centers. The mix skews toward education, corrections, and state human services operations that source food in volume through formal procurement.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (May and July 2026, ITB notices with June and July response dates) specifying USDA 2011 commodity standards, FOB destination delivery to Salem, and historical awards around $21.80 per case; Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a supplemental food and consumables IFB (March 2026, deadline March 19) covering 210 line items with a potential three-year value of $4.5 million across state hospitals and supported living centers; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food (October 2026, due October 19) delivered to a senior services center; Hancock County Schools in Georgia bid fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year (June 2026, due June 26); and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut sought bids on 115 commodity line items for the Board of Education nutrition center (June 2026, due June 26). The code shows no standout repeat single-commodity solicitations specific to lambertin apricots; instead, the commodity appears embedded in broader institutional food buys where brand-or-equal substitution is common and pricing is evaluated on per-unit or per-case basis with firm fixed pricing expected to hold across contract terms.
