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 covering shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products procured by state agencies, county governments, school districts, and other state and local institutions for food service and nutrition programs. State and local buyers under this code purchase canned and jarred fruit items as components of broader food supply contracts for institutional cafeterias, senior centers, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and school nutrition operations. The issuing bodies include county boards of education, county senior services departments, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, city boards of education, and state veterans' facilities. These entities typically solicit canned fruit as one line item within larger multi-category food procurement efforts rather than as standalone commodity purchases, though Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple separate ITBs specifically for canned applesauce.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for approximately 4,760 and 1,904 cases of canned applesauce respectively (S2910000017453 and S2910000016975, both ITBs with bids due in June and July 2026), with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and a 10 percent Oregon-goods preference applied. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins as part of a broader food purchase for the Department of Community Services (IWQ 140229, IFB due October 19, 2026). Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a statewide supplemental food and consumables IFB encompassing 210 line items including canned and fresh fruits for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0016792V2, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on a quarterly basis under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (27497DVAQUINCB53751 and 27497DVAQUINCB53752, proposals due August 24, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year with over 200 line items and multiple apple varieties (IFB #SN002-2027, bids due June 26, 2026). These solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery terms, compliance with USDA commodity specifications and food safety standards, and Buy American provisions where applicable.
