UNSPSC 50361644: Canned or jarred robada apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361644 Canned or jarred robada apricots is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely procure in isolation; recent opportunities show this code tagged to food service procurement but the actual buying focuses on broader fresh and processed fruit categories for school nutrition, institutional food service, and correctional facilities. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned applesauce (not apricots) under ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought supplemental food and consumables including canned goods for state hospitals and supported living centers, while the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and multiple school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, and others) bid food commodities under broader product categories. Issuing bodies span state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHS Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county school districts (Hancock County, Douglas County, Muscogee County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Savannah-Chatham in Georgia), municipal entities (City of Bridgeport), and independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools). School nutrition programs and institutional food service dominate the issuing-body mix, with a few state corrections and health-care facilities also buying under related food commodity codes.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts the most frequent buyers. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (approximately 40,000 pounds per truckload, five full truckloads, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables with 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers (maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years), and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for a Master Grocery K-12 contract covering food delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with firm-fixed pricing for one year plus four one-year renewals (due April 27, 2026). The code shows substantial procurement activity but displays a mismatch between the nominal commodity (robada apricots) and the actual scope of work being solicited (multi-item institutional and school food service contracts where canned fruits are one line item among hundreds).
