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

UNSPSC 50371602 Canned or jarred organic apache apricots is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, represents a narrow product category within broader food procurement by corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and school districts. The code itself describes a specific processed fruit product, but the actual buying activity under related codes reveals that state and local governments purchase canned and processed fruit as part of comprehensive food service contracts spanning multiple product categories—applesauce, pears, mixed fruits, and other shelf-stable items for institutional feeding operations. State and local issuing bodies soliciting food products include corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Rockwood School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System), and municipal boards of education (City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center). The Oregon Department of Corrections appears twice in the recent record, indicating repeat buying of canned applesauce on an ITB basis.

Recent activity spans multiple states with the densest solicitation concentration in Texas and Georgia school districts, followed by Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Virginia (Fairfax County), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Illinois (state CPO), and Georgia (state HHSC, Douglas County, Liberty County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County school systems). Representative 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, and a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; 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, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (including canned vegetables and fruits) for the Department of Criminal Justice with bids due May 4, 2026. Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content for processed products are standard across school district procurements, and firm fixed pricing with FOB destination delivery and all-inclusive transportation charges dominate contract terms. Insurance requirements typically range from $1 million to $2 million in general commercial liability, and payment terms run 30 to 90 days from delivery or invoice.
