UNSPSC 50371653: Canned or jarred organic valley gold apricots

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

UNSPSC 50371653 Canned or jarred organic valley gold apricots, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within shelf-stable fruit procurement. State and local governments buy this commodity primarily through food-service and nutrition programs — school districts, county senior services, state correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers solicit canned fruit products under this code as part of broader food and consumable purchasing. The recent opportunities show that jurisdictions typically procure canned apricots alongside other canned fruits, dried fruit products, and fresh produce within larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone line items, though some solicitations isolate specific fruit types (such as canned applesauce) when quantities or service models warrant dedicated procurement. School nutrition programs appear most active; the Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, and the Hancock County Board of Education manages fresh and canned produce for school year contracts. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County Board of Education, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), city education departments (City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center), and state correctional and support-living facilities.
