UNSPSC 50361639: Canned or jarred poppy apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361639 Canned or jarred poppy apricots is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for food service to vulnerable populations — senior services, corrections, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show the code spanning both standalone fruit acquisitions and line-item components within broader food-supply contracts. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state corrections and health agencies, city boards of education, and state-level human services and veterans' facilities. These entities conduct procurement through a mix of ITB (informal written quote), IFB (invitation for bid), and RFP (request for proposals) processes, typically with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with USDA commodity grades and FDA standards. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content appear in school district solicitations; state facilities often permit brand-or-equal substitution to allow equivalent products when functional and quality parity is demonstrated. Contract terms typically run 12 months with optional renewal periods.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with visible recent procurement from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin Independent School District), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical price of $21.84 per case with five percent Oregon fabrication and residency preferences; and the Texas HHSC's June 2026 IFB for food and consumables to the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually. The State of Illinois has posted multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications throughout 2026. Delivery windows typically range from 45 to 72 hours post-order, with centralized distribution centers in Salem (Oregon), Lawrenceville (Georgia), and El Paso (Texas) serving as primary receiving points.
