UNSPSC 50371607: Canned or jarred organic bulida apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371607 Canned or jarred organic bulida apricots is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service operations—primarily for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans' homes, senior services, and state supported living centers. The recent opportunities show state and local buyers sourcing canned fruit, dried fruit products, and fresh produce as part of broader food-service and nutrition contracts rather than purchasing organic bulida apricots specifically. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments and agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Georgia Department of Community Services), and county government nutrition programs (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). School districts and state-operated facilities dominate recent activity, with corrections and veterans' facilities appearing as steady repeat buyers.

Recent opportunities posted across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut show activity concentrated in institutional food-service procurement. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical price $21.84 per case, due July 31, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple varieties (bids due June 26, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (bid deadline March 19, 2026, estimated contract value up to $4.5 million over three years), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026). These buyers typically issue ITBs and IFBs with firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery terms, and multi-case or multi-pallet ordering. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content appear in school nutrition procurements, and state facilities commonly impose prevailing wage, insurance, and record-retention requirements. The code shows limited recent activity specifically for organic bulida apricots; solicitations focus on generic canned fruit, applesauce, and fresh produce as components of broader institutional food contracts.
