UNSPSC 50371629: Canned or jarred organic king apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371629 Canned or jarred organic king apricots is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable preserved fruit products state and local governments procure for food service operations, including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and institutional kitchens. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses not only the specific commodity named—organic or conventional canned apricots—but also related canned and preserved fruit items such as applesauce and dried fruit products that appear under the same procurement umbrellas. State and local issuing bodies pursuing this code include school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The code sees activity across multiple jurisdictions on a recurring basis, particularly from correctional systems and state health facilities that place quarterly or annual food service contracts.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 1,900 cases and 4,760 cases respectively, due June 2, 2026 and July 31, 2026, with historical pricing around $21.83 per case), applying a combined 10 percent state-of-origin preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide for state hospitals and state-supported living centers, with a 210-line-item scope and estimated maximum value of $4.5 million over three years (IFB HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, due August 24, 2026 and June 17, 2026). Austin Independent School District is seeking proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Delivery terms typically require FOB destination prepaid with rapid fulfillment (45–72 hours or within 60 days of order), and awards favor lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a per-unit or per-case basis.
