UNSPSC 50371605: Canned or jarred organic blenheim apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371605 Canned or jarred organic blenheim apricots, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement activity primarily as part of broader food-service solicitations that bundle shelf-stable produce, canned fruits, and related consumables rather than as standalone specialty-item purchases. The code reflects what jurisdictions actually buy: canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service across corrections departments, senior services, school nutrition programs, veterans' facilities, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show this code embedded within larger food-commodity procurements that include dozens of line items spanning proteins, vegetables, grains, and prepared foods, with individual fruit items specified by brand or approved equivalent and evaluated on unit pricing and delivery performance rather than as specialty or organic-premium purchases.

Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois), county boards of education and school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county senior services (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and state veterans' facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with recent opportunities posted June through October 2026. Representative recent procurements include Gwinnett County's October 2026 RFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned fruit (due October 19, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical award of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales (due July 31, 2026); and Texas HHSC's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, encompassing 210 line items with a maximum potential contract value of $4,500,000 over three years (response deadline March 19, 2026). Buy American provisions requiring domestic sourcing and Oregon goods preferences appear in several solicitations. Delivery is typically FOB destination to central warehouse or distribution points, with firm fixed pricing and no-split or single-award discretion reserved by the buying agency.
