UNSPSC 50382015: Early bright apricot purees

The variety of apricots known as early bright apricots which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382015 Early bright apricot purees (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are buying under this code designation. Recent solicitations tagged with this code request canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, supplemental food and consumable products for institutional dining, fresh produce, eggs, and main-line food service distribution—a broad range of food products for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state hospitals, and state supported living centers. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Schools), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts soliciting grocery and produce contracts for the 2026-27 school year under IFB and RFP methods; state institutional facilities—prisons, mental health hospitals, and supported living centers—also appear as repeat buyers of canned and shelf-stable foods.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon goods and bidders; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with responses due July 13, 2026 and a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce (over 200 line items including apples, berries, and specialty produce) due June 26, 2026. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with firm fixed pricing and delivery to multiple school sites or institutional facilities. The code shows substantial and consistent activity across food service procurement, though the commodity code name bears little resemblance to the breadth of institutional food supply work actually being procured.
