UNSPSC 50371630: Canned or jarred organic lambertin apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371630 Canned or jarred organic lambertin apricots is a Commodity code that in practice covers shelf-stable and processed fruit products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broad-line food commodities—procured by state agencies, county school districts, municipal nutrition centers, and state-operated facilities including corrections departments, veterans homes, and state supported living centers. Recent activity shows state and local buyers soliciting canned fruit and fruit-based products as components of larger food-service line-item procurements rather than in isolation; the code's nominal specificity to organic lambertin apricots does not align with the actual scope of recent opportunities, which span conventional canned applesauce, dried fruit products, and mixed commodity food lists. Issuing bodies include the Oregon Department of Corrections (recurring buyer across multiple fiscal cycles), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, and the Austin Independent School District. Procurements use IFB, ITB, RFQ, and RFP methods with responses submitted electronically or by sealed bid.

Geographic activity centers on the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, and Austin ISD), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office managing food supply for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Board of Education, and State of Georgia), and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with responses due July 31, 2026 at $21.84 per case historical pricing; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (including canned vegetables and proteins) with responses due October 19, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with responses due July 13, 2026 and a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and the Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with proposals due July 16, 2026. Buy American and domestic-preference provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed products) appear in school-district and municipal nutrition-center procurements. Most contracts run one to three years with renewal or extension options, and pricing is typically firm fixed for the initial term with adjustments permitted at renewal only within specified limits or tied to consumer-price indexing.
