UNSPSC 50361634: Canned or jarred moorpark apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361634 Canned or jarred moorpark apricots, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service contracts for correctional facilities, senior services, schools, and health and human services institutions. Recent solicitations show canned apricots and similar canned fruit products sourced alongside other shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, grains, and prepared foods within larger multi-line-item food-supply awards. The issuing-body mix spans state corrections departments, county boards of education and commissioners' offices, independent school districts, state departments of health and human services, and municipal school nutrition programs. Most recent activity centers on multi-item food commodity procurements rather than apricot-specific standalone buys, with the code typically subsumed within broader food-service RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs that treat produce and canned goods as interchangeable commodity classes.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with recent activity posted from Gwinnett County and the State of Georgia, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and the City of Bridgeport. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables with a due date of October 19, 2026 (no apricots named but product category aligned); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce posted May 18, 2026, with bids due June 2, 2026, for approximately 1,904 cases delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables statewide, posted May 19, 2026, covering 210 line items including canned fruits with a bid response deadline of March 19, 2026 (response date now past). No dedicated moorpark-apricot solicitations appear in the recent record; apricot procurement, when it occurs, is absorbed into multi-category commodity awards where price competition and delivery reliability typically dominate vendor selection.
