UNSPSC 50371638: Canned or jarred organic perfection apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371638 Canned or jarred organic perfection apricots (Commodity) encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and veterans' homes. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned fruit items as part of broader food-supply contracts; the Commodity code itself rarely appears in isolation, as these purchases typically aggregate within larger food-procurement vehicles that span proteins, vegetables, grains, and shelf-stable staples. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD), municipal governments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and county/regional purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). The code shows no standout repeat buyer — sourcing patterns are distributed across institutional food-service functions rather than concentrated in a single agency or jurisdiction type.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (RFQ, due October 19, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem (ITB, due July 31, 2026, historical award $21.84 per case); Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually (IFB, due July 13, 2026); and Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic warehouse locations (IFB, extended to May 4, 2026). Buy American requirements and domestic-content minimums appear in school and institutional procurements; Oregon and some Texas procurements apply in-state preferences. Contract terms typically run 12 months with renewal or extension options, and awards are often made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or on best-value criteria with delivery on FOB destination prepaid terms.
