UNSPSC 50382003: Brittany gold apricot purees

The variety of apricots known as birttany gold apricots which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382003 Brittany gold apricot purees is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses canned and processed fruit products broadly—not specifically apricots branded as Brittany or gold varieties, but rather commodity-grade canned fruits, applesauce, pears, and shelf-stable fruit preparations purchased for institutional food service. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code span corrections departments, school districts (from small rural districts to large county systems), health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers, and municipal boards of education. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia and Texas school districts appear as repeat soliciting bodies across the recent opportunities block, indicating steady institutional demand for bulk canned fruit and processed fruit products meeting USDA commodity specifications and Buy American requirements where applicable.

Recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem—with a historical price of $21.84 per case and Oregon state and local preferences totaling 10 percent—and Austin Independent School District soliciting dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service under RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026), with delivery to the district's central warehouse. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia school systems, Texas HHSC and TDCJ), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon DOC), and Texas statewide, with school nutrition programs and correctional and health facilities driving most recent posting volume. Solicitations typically specify USDA 2011 commodity standards or equivalent, firm fixed pricing on FOB destination terms with transportation prepaid, delivery in five-truck or quarterly increments, minimum one-year shelf life, and Buy American or domestic-content preferences where federally funded. Contract values range from approximately $41,500 (Oregon DOC applesauce) to $9 million annually (large school district food supply), with awards commonly made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders meeting specification and insurance compliance.
