The type of oval orange-colored fruit of a temperate-zone tree (prunus armeniaca) resembling the related peach and plum in flavor which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382000 Apricot purees is a Class code that encompasses canned and processed fruit products state and local governments actually buy for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and state facility dining operations. Recent solicitations under this code—though the opportunities block shows mixed coding practices—reveal that state and local buyers are actively procuring canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broader food supply contracts where processed and canned fruits serve as line items within larger food service portfolios. The issuing-body mix spans state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, school districts ranging from small county systems to large urban districts, and public school nutrition programs. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Dallas Independent School District in Texas all appear as recent buyers, indicating sustained demand from corrections facilities, state-operated residential facilities, and K-12 school nutrition operations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Virginia and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, bids due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at historical pricing of $21.84 per case, delivered to Salem in five truckloads with a 5 percent Oregon goods preference and 5 percent resident-bidder preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, bids due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including fruits for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated prior-year value of $1.5 million and an initial contract term through August 31, 2027; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (posted June 10, 2026, bids due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties and berries across over 200 line items with delivery to three school locations and a firm-price contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
