UNSPSC 50371603: Canned or jarred organic brittany gold apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371603, Canned or jarred organic Brittany gold apricots (Commodity), describes a narrow food product category that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service supply contracts for correctional facilities, schools, senior services, health-and-human-services institutions, and state hospitals. Recent solicitations show that apricots and similar shelf-stable fruit products are typically bundled with dozens or hundreds of other food line items—canned proteins, vegetables, grains, and dairy—rather than procured as standalone commodity purchases. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and specialized state institutions (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). The specific code—canned organic apricots—represents a highly granular taxonomy entry; actual procurement demand flows through broader commodity classifications that bundle fruit products by format and preservation method rather than by organic status or cultivar.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned applesauce (a related canned fruit product) twice in the past six months—ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, seeking approximately 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case, and ITB S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, for 1,904 cases at approximately $21.827 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a comprehensive IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products for state-supported living centers with a prior-period spend of $1.5 million, and an earlier supplemental food IFB (HHS0016792V2, deadline March 19, 2026) with a maximum three-year potential value of $4.5 million. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners sought 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (IFB IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for senior services. Austin Independent School District posted an RFP (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps. These solicitations typically use IFB, IFQ, or RFP mechanisms with response dates measured in days to weeks; awards are made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or on best-value criteria, often split across multiple vendors by line item. Buy American and domestic-content preferences apply in school and some health-services procurement. Oregon applies a combined 10 percent state-resident and in-state fabrication preference. No evidence in the recent record supports standalone demand specifically for the organic apricot commodity; actual purchase volume flows through broader fruit and canned-goods line items within larger food-service contracts.
