UNSPSC 50371650: Canned or jarred organic tomcot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371650 Canned or jarred organic tomcot apricots, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable canned and jarred produce that state and local governments procure primarily for food service operations at schools, senior centers, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show the code in active use across nutrition programs and institutional feeding, with purchasing offices seeking canned fruits, applesauce, dried fruit bars, and related shelf-stable produce as part of broader food commodity buys. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county school boards (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District), state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County), state veterans facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and municipal education procurement offices (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). These jurisdictions treat canned and jarred produce as routine line items within larger food service contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys, reflecting the code's role within institutional nutrition supply chains.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem in five truckloads (bids due July 31, 2026, with historical award at $21.84 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products supplying the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period (proposals due July 13, 2026); and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse regions, including canned and fresh vegetables and fruits as line items within a 382-item procurement (bids due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). Many solicitations apply Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content, prevailing wage compliance where applicable, and delivery on FOB Destination terms. Award decisions generally favor lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a per-unit or per-case basis, with some jurisdictions reserving the right to split awards across multiple vendors by line item.
