UNSPSC 50371634: Canned or jarred organic moorpark apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371634 Canned or jarred organic moorpark apricots is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable, canned or jarred preserved apricots used in institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code and closely related preserved-fruit categories show demand for bulk canned fruit products—including applesauce, canned apricots, and related preserved fruits—for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The solicitations reveal that state and local governments are buying standardized, bulk-packaged canned fruit products that meet USDA commodity specifications, comply with federal food safety standards, and arrive ready for meal preparation or direct service. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county school boards, county senior services programs, municipal school districts, and city board of education nutrition centers. State of Illinois and Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers, with the latter issuing multiple bids for canned applesauce. The work spans commodity food sourcing for large-scale food service operations serving vulnerable or incarcerated populations.

Recent activity is concentrated in the South and West, with solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County), Texas (HHSC El Paso, TDCJ), Oregon (ODOC), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), as well as regional school districts including Austin Independent School District and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, with bids due July 31, 2026, and historical pricing of $21.84 per case; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables, due October 19, 2026; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal offerings), with proposals due August 24, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center reflects a $1.5 million historical annual spend for the prior year. All solicitations require FOB Destination delivery, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, firm fixed pricing, proof of liability insurance, and submission of vendor references and compliance certifications.
