UNSPSC 50361652: Canned or jarred tri gem apricots

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

UNSPSC 50361652 Canned or jarred tri gem apricots is a Commodity code that encompasses preserved fruit products state and local governments actually procure for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers. The code shows minimal direct activity; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly for tri gem apricots or closely matching canned apricot products. Instead, state and local buyers soliciting under related produce and canned-goods categories are targeting broader fruit procurement spanning canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, and multi-category food supply contracts. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, school districts of varying sizes (from smaller districts serving under 7,000 students to large urban districts like Dallas ISD), county boards of education, and statewide cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across Georgia. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with repeat solicitations for annual K-12 food service contracts from Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and numerous other districts across Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Oregon, and Illinois.

Geographic spread covers Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia, with school district nutrition programs the most frequent issuing bodies. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, and specialty items (due June 26, 2026), and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office quarterly food orders for the fourth quarter fiscal year 2027 (due June 17, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually and responses due July 13, 2026. Larger multi-year contracts include the Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution solicitation seeking a main-line distributor for 32,000 daily meals across 25,500 students with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. Buy American provisions, domestic content requirements (typically 51 percent for processed products), USDA compliance, and firm fixed pricing for contract terms are standard conditions across all recent solicitations in this commodity space.
