UNSPSC 50361640: Canned or jarred poppycot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361640 Canned or jarred poppycot apricots is a Commodity code that in practice spans canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, pears, and dried fruit items—procured by state corrections departments, school districts, health and human services agencies, and other institutional food service operations. The code sees activity from a mix of issuing bodies: state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), school districts of varying sizes (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Schools, Douglas County Schools), and municipal agencies (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). School districts dominate the recent opportunity set, reflecting the scale and frequency of child nutrition procurement. Institutional food service buyers specify products that meet USDA commodity standards, USDA 2011 canned-fruit specifications, or Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content (typically 51 percent for processed goods). Delivery is structured as firm fixed-price contracts with FOB destination prepaid by the vendor, weekly or as-needed scheduling, and strict temperature and shelf-life requirements. Insurance requirements are standard across jurisdictions (commercial general liability of $1 million to $2 million per occurrence, with the issuing body named as additional insured where applicable).

Geographically, the code shows concentrated recent activity in Texas (multiple HHSC and school district solicitations), Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and the GEC cooperative), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, due July 31, 2026, under the OregonBuys system with 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-vendor preference; the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a historical value of $1.5 million annually; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract reflect the scale and complexity of district-level food service procurement. The code shows steady demand with short bid-closing windows (typically 30–45 days from posting) and firm fixed-price structures; no set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are consistently identified across these opportunities.
