UNSPSC 50371624: Canned or jarred organic imperial apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371624 Canned or jarred organic imperial apricots is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable preserved fruit products for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, county and state agency meal provision, correctional facilities, and care centers. State and local governments procuring under this code buy canned and jarred fruit products—often as part of broader food commodity buys that encompass multiple proteins, vegetables, grains, and shelf-stable staples. The code sees activity from county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, school districts, city nutrition centers, and county social services departments. Solicitation scope typically includes dozens to hundreds of line items spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, frozen items, and canned goods, with canned or preserved fruit appearing as one component of these larger food service contracts rather than as standalone purchases. Buy American content requirements and food safety certifications (USDA commodity compliance, FDA standards, HACCP plans, shelf-life specifications) appear consistently across recent opportunities.
