UNSPSC 50371601: Canned or jarred organic ambercot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371601 Canned or jarred organic ambercot apricots is a Commodity code under which state and local governments purchase prepared fruit products—primarily canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and broader food service staples—for institutional food programs. The recent opportunities show minimal direct procurement of organic ambercots by name; instead, issuing bodies are soliciting canned and prepared fruit products as part of larger food-service contracts for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state health agencies. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts including Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County, and Savannah-Chatham County, and various state health agencies are the primary buyers under or near this code. Issuing bodies span state departments (corrections, health services), county school districts, and city school systems across the United States. The code sees activity from institutional food-service procurement operations rather than retail or commercial grocery channels.

Recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, where the commodity specifications require USDA 2011 compliance, FOB destination delivery to Salem, and a historical award price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (including canned fruits) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with proposals due July 13, 2026 and a prior-period contract value of $1.5 million; and the City of Bridgeport's bid for 115 line items of food commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center due June 26, 2026, requiring Buy American compliance and MBE/CBE certifications. Geographic activity centers on Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, and Missouri, with school district activity particularly concentrated in the Southeast. Canned fruit procurement remains a steady but modest segment within broader institutional food-service solicitations, typically bundled with proteins, dairy, and staple items rather than solicited as a standalone category.
