UNSPSC 50382009: Clutha gold apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50382009 Clutha gold apricot purees is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses canned and shelf-stable fruit products used in institutional food service, not the specific cultivar named in the code. Recent state and local solicitations under this code actually procure canned applesauce, canned pears, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state supported living centers. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (independent school districts in Texas, county boards of education in Georgia and Missouri), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and local government entities (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). School nutrition programs and institutional food service appear as the primary use case, with smaller volumes going to corrections and state supported living centers. The geographic concentration spans Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois, with Texas and Georgia showing the heaviest recent activity.

Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026, with a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon goods and bidders); Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (proposals due July 16, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including fresh produce and eggs to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 13, 2026, with estimated prior-period spend of $1.5 million). The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (estimated $5.5 million annual spend, proposals due March 4, 2026). Procurement methods are predominantly IFB and RFP; response dates cluster between late February and early August 2026. Buy American requirements appear in most school district procurements, and state set-asides and preferences (Oregon resident bidder preference, Texas HUB considerations where applicable) are common. No recent opportunities show mismatch with the nominal code scope, though the code's name reference to a specific apricot variety does not reflect the actual breadth of canned and fresh fruit products being solicited.
