UNSPSC 50371628: Canned or jarred organic katy apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371628 Canned or jarred organic katy apricots is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The recent opportunities do not show active solicitation specifically for canned organic katy apricots; instead, the code's recent activity clusters around broader institutional food procurement where canned and preserved fruit items appear as line items within larger food-supply buys. The solicitations reveal that state and local buyers purchase canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce as components of comprehensive food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity categories. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county human services agencies (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), municipal school boards (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and state correctional and health systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). These jurisdictions consolidate fruit and produce procurement into larger food-supply RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs that group proteins, dairy, grains, and produce together.

Activity concentrates in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Illinois (multiple veterans' home procurements), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD, Bridgeport), and Connecticut. The most recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, historical price $21.84 per case, bids due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items including fruits and vegetables, bids due March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products (quotes due October 19, 2026), and the State of Illinois' multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, proposals due August 24, 2026). Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content for processed products appear in school district procurements (Hancock County, Bridgeport), and state preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders apply in Oregon Department of Corrections solicitations. The code shows limited direct activity for the specific "katy apricot" commodity; opportunities use broader canned fruit categories or consolidate produce into general food-service contracts.
