UNSPSC 50361637: Canned or jarred patterson apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361637 Canned or jarred patterson apricots, a Commodity code, does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food service supply contracts—not patterson apricots specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts across Georgia and other states are soliciting under this code for general fruit products and comprehensive food service procurement, but the nominations show negligible demand for the specific commodity the code nominates.

The issuing bodies span state corrections agencies, school districts (independent and county-based), state health and human services commissions, and school nutrition programs across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce under ITB S-29100-00017453 with bids due July 31, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. PST and a historical award price of $21.84 per case; the Austin Independent School District soliciting dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 with proposals due July 16, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0017449, with bids due July 13, 2026, and a prior-period contract value of $1.5 million. School nutrition programs across multiple districts are also active buyers of fresh produce on annual contracts with firm fixed pricing. The code's recent activity reflects broad fruit and food commodity procurement rather than patterson apricots in particular, signaling either a taxonomy misalignment or minimal specific demand for the named commodity.
