UNSPSC 50371643: Canned or jarred organic rival apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371643 Canned or jarred organic rival apricots is a Commodity code that in practice does not match the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under it. The code's nominal scope describes preserved fruit in organic form, but the recent opportunities posted against this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food service commodities for schools, corrections facilities, and state health agencies—none of which are organic apricots or closely aligned to that category. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source system or that this particular code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for disparate food procurement activity rather than for the specific product it names.

The issuing-body mix spans state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), large independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools), county school systems (Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), a city education agency (Bridgeport Board of Education), and cooperative purchasing consortia serving multiple districts. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois, with recent opportunities spanning correction facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and specialized food service operations. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, with 5% Oregon-goods and 5% Oregon-headquarters preferences totaling 10%), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (210 line items, $4.5 million potential value over three years), the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (response due April 27, 2026, with minimum three years' vendor experience required), and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia school districts (approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending across two geographic areas, due March 4, 2026). The code shows no recent activity aligned to its stated scope of organic apricots specifically.
