UNSPSC 50382004: Black apricot purees

The variety of apricots known as black apricots which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382004 Black apricot purees is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source contains no recent opportunities soliciting black apricot purees. Instead, the tagged opportunities span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce (including apples, bananas, berries, vegetables), eggs, and broad food service supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or a shift in purchasing patterns away from the specific commodity the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies across the broader food procurement activity—where the miscoded opportunities actually sit—include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia), school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), and a city education office (Bridgeport, Connecticut). Recent activity clusters heavily in school nutrition procurement using IFB and RFP methods across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Connecticut, and Virginia, with response dates ranging from late February through July 2026. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, 4,760 cases at approximately $21.84 per case, with 5% Oregon-goods preference and 5% local-headquarter preference), the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, approximately $5.5 million combined annual value for two geographic areas), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0016792V2, up to $4.5 million potential value over three years, covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers). School districts consistently require firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, and delivery to multiple school sites within narrow time windows (typically 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday), with contract periods running fiscal year to fiscal year and renewal options of two to four additional years. No current procurement activity directly matches the code's stated commodity.
