UNSPSC 50371619: Canned or jarred organic goldbar apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371619 Canned or jarred organic goldbar apricots (Commodity) represents a narrow specialty produce category, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not align closely with the specific commodity name—recent solicitations show instead that jurisdictions are buying food and consumable products for institutional food service on a much broader basis, including canned fruits (applesauce, not specifically organic goldbar apricots), fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and shelf-stable staples. State and local buyers span school districts, county social services and corrections departments, state health systems, and specialized facilities. The mix includes Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (food items for senior services), Austin Independent School District (dried fruit bars and apple crisps), the Oregon Department of Corrections (canned applesauce), the State of Illinois (weekly food orders for veterans homes), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (food and consumables for state supported living centers and state hospitals). Institutional food service buyers conduct these procurements regularly using RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs, typically with firm-fixed pricing on per-unit or per-case bases, FOB destination delivery terms, and compliance requirements for USDA grades, FDA standards, and Buy American provisions where school nutrition programs are involved.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (HHSC multiple procurements for state hospitals and supported living centers), Illinois (state veterans homes on quarterly cycles), Georgia (Gwinnett County schools and food supplies), Oregon (corrections department applesauce contracts), Connecticut (Bridgeport school nutrition), and scattered school districts nationally. Recent representative opportunities include the Gwinnett County IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a quote deadline of October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, featuring a 10 percent Oregon-goods preference; the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million due July 13, 2026; and the Austin Independent School District RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. The code shows consistent activity but the recent solicitations do not center specifically on organic goldbar apricots; vendors competing here should be positioned in broad institutional food distribution, with capability to meet volume requirements (often measured in full truckloads or thousands of cases), USDA compliance certifications, and delivery logistics to multiple institutional sites.
