UNSPSC 50371648: Canned or jarred organic sundrop apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371648, Canned or jarred organic sundrop apricots, is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable canned fruit products state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, including senior centers, correctional facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and supported living centers. Recent activity shows procurement offices treating this code and related canned-fruit categories as part of broader food-supply RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs rather than as standalone line items; the code sits within larger food-commodity solicitations that bundle proteins, vegetables, canned goods, and fresh produce into single contracts. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), city nutrition programs (Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, Connecticut), and county social-services departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services, Georgia). Most recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 are concentrated in institutional meal programs rather than retail or consumer channels.

Geographic activity spans the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Texas, Illinois, Georgia, and Connecticut, with Oregon and Texas showing repeated procurement cycles for canned fruit products. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned applesauce in May 2026 (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026) and July 2026 (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), seeking approximately 1,900–4,700 cases per cycle at historical prices near $21.83 per case, with 5% Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences applied. Texas HHSC procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026, with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million) and a separate facility-specific IFB for El Paso (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) encompassed canned and shelf-stable fruit among 200+ line items. Gwinnett County, Georgia procured food items including canned products via informal written quote (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026), and the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy issued weekly food orders across multiple quarters (27497DVAQUINCB52820, 27497DVAQUINCB53751, 27497DVAQUINCB53752, due June–August 2026). Most solicitations use FOB Destination pricing, require one-year minimum shelf life, mandate USDA/FDA compliance, and award to lowest responsive and responsible or best-value bidders with no reported set-asides specific to this code tier.
