UNSPSC 50371604: Canned or jarred organic black apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371604 Canned or jarred organic black apricots (Commodity) describes shelf-stable fruit products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service supply contracts for corrections, health and human services, school nutrition, and senior services programs. Recent opportunities show this code tagged to institutional food purchasing, though the specific commodity—organic black apricots in canned or jarred form—appears in sourced opportunities only as part of wider line-item lists rather than as a standalone solicitation focus. The actual work being bought spans fresh produce, canned fruits and vegetables, proteins, dairy, and dry goods delivered to correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, and county nutrition centers. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia state procurement), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), municipal school boards (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and county human-services agencies (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services). The code sees significant repeat activity from Illinois state food procurement and Oregon Department of Corrections, both issuing multiple solicitations for weekly or quarterly food orders.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon) with secondary activity in Illinois and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with proposals due August 24, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' invitation to bid for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453) with bids due July 31, 2026 at $21.84 per historical case price awarded to Robbins Sales; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792v2) covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers with an estimated maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed goods appear in school district and corrections solicitations. Oregon applies a combined 10 percent state preference (5 percent for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders). Most contracts require FOB Destination delivery, firm fixed pricing for the initial term, commercial general liability insurance typically ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and compliance with USDA/FDA standards and grade specifications.
