UNSPSC 50371609: Canned or jarred organic clutha gold apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371609 Canned or jarred organic clutha gold apricots is a Commodity code that spans preserved stone fruit products, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct alignment with the narrow product specification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code are actually purchasing a much broader range of shelf-stable and fresh produce, canned fruits, and food-service staples rather than apricots specifically. School districts, state corrections and health departments, county social services, and municipal boards of education are the primary issuing bodies, with solicitations driven by institutional food service and nutrition program demands. The work includes bulk procurement of canned fruit (applesauce, mixed fruits), fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), dried fruit bars, and related food-service consumables delivered to central warehouses, nutrition centers, distribution hubs, and state facilities.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with recent opportunities from Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District (Texas), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,904 cases in May 2026 and 4,760 cases in July 2026), with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and awards to Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner; Gwinnett County issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables with a response deadline of October 19, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education requested bids on over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. The State of Illinois and Texas HHSC have issued multiple quarterly food-service procurements on brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases. Vendors should note that Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content) and set-asides for MBE/CBE certifications apply in several jurisdictions, and delivery requirements typically mandate FOB Destination with expedited timeframes (45 to 72 hours in some cases).
