UNSPSC 50371644: Canned or jarred organic robada apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371644 Canned or jarred organic robada apricots (Commodity) covers shelf-stable fruit products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services centers, county senior services, and other public-agency dining operations. Recent opportunities show that state and local buyers are acquiring canned and jarred fruit items across a broader range than the specific "robada apricots" nomenclature suggests: opportunities in the source cite canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed commodity food products alongside formal solicitations for specific fruit types. The actual buying pattern reflects institutional food procurement that treats individual fruit items as line items within larger food-service contracts, often bundled with proteins, vegetables, grains, and consumables under single IFBs or RFPs. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county school boards (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), city nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state-run facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). Repeat buyers in the recent-opportunities block include the State of Illinois (multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home), Oregon Department of Corrections (two separate applesauce procurements), and Texas health and corrections agencies.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with the most recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Representative solicitations include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 request for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for an estimated 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a response deadline of July 31, 2026 and a historical price of $21.84 per case; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, posted June 11, 2026 with responses due July 13, 2026 and a prior-period value of $1.5 million. Deliveries typically occur on FOB Destination terms with advance scheduling required; Oregon and some Texas procurements apply domestic-content or in-state preferences. The code shows active, recurring procurement but no standout pattern specific to "robada apricots" — the commodity appears to be sourced as one item within larger mixed-food contracts rather than as a standalone specialty procurement.
