UNSPSC 50371645: Canned or jarred organic royal apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371645 Canned or jarred organic royal apricots is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement — specifically, shelf-stable, organic canned apricot products delivered to institutional food service operations including schools, correctional facilities, veterans homes, senior services centers, and state health agencies. The code does not yet appear prominently in recent solicitations; however, the broader category of canned and shelf-stable fruit products (applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and mixed canned produce) does appear regularly in state and local IFBs, RFPs, and informal quotes. Issuing bodies across this commodity family span county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state veterans homes, city and county nutrition services, school districts, and state health and human services agencies. The mix is heavily weighted toward institutional food service—correctional systems, school nutrition programs, senior centers, and state-supported living centers—rather than retail or commercial food distribution.

Recent activity in the canned and jarred fruit space centers in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut, with scattered opportunities posted across other states. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce twice in the past six months (ITBs due June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026), awarding historically at approximately $21.83–$21.84 per case for roughly 2,000–4,700 cases per cycle. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple weekly food-order RFPs for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due June 17, 2026, and August 24, 2026) with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) sought informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items including canned goods for the Department of Community Services (quote due October 19, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued large-scope IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state supported living centers (210+ line items, maximum value $4.5 million over three years) and cafeteria food products for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (382 line items across five warehouse regions). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (bids due June 26, 2026), with Buy American and MBE/CBE provisions applying. Canned organic apricots, when specified, typically appear as line items within these larger institutional food procurement cycles rather than as standalone solicitations, and organic products remain less common than standard commercial canned fruit in recent public opportunities.
