UNSPSC 50371615: Canned or jarred organic early bright apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371615 Canned or jarred organic early bright apricots is a Commodity code covering preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service operations, institutional meal programs, and nutrition supply. The code sees active solicitation among school districts, state departments, county boards, and state-supported facilities, which acquire canned and jarred fruits as shelf-stable components of cafeteria, correctional, and senior services meal plans. Recent opportunities show procurement bodies treating this category broadly—solicitations for "canned or jarred organic early bright apricots" typically appear within larger food-commodity RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs that bundle preserved fruits with proteins, vegetables, grains, and dairy, rather than as standalone line items. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), state correctional and health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county purchasing divisions (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia), and independent school districts (Austin Independent School District, Texas). State veterans' homes and state-supported living centers also appear as regular buyers under state chief procurement offices, particularly in Illinois and Texas.
