UNSPSC 50382026: Jumbo cot apricot purees

The variety of apricots known as jumbo cot apricots which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382026 Jumbo cot apricot purees is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity has been solicited as part of broader shelf-stable and fresh food sourcing for institutional food service — including school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services centers, and county senior services. The recent opportunities show states and localities procuring food items individually or in mixed-commodity line-item solicitations under IFB, RFQ, and RFP notices, with emphasis on compliance with USDA standards, domestic sourcing preferences, and firm fixed pricing delivered to institutional warehouses and distribution centers. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, departments of education, county boards of education, county purchasing offices, independent school districts, and municipal governments. The code does not appear as a standalone procurement focus in the recent activity; instead, apricot purees would fall within larger fresh, frozen, canned, and dried fruit line items that states and localities source for nutritional programs.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (IFB, October 19, 2026 response deadline); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on both brand-specific and brand-or-equal basis (August 24, 2026 due date); Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case (historical award to Robbins Sales, July 31, 2026 bid deadline); Austin Independent School District requesting dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (RFP, July 16, 2026); and Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring food and consumable products for state supported living centers with a historical value of $1.5 million annually (IFB, July 13, 2026). Preferences favoring domestic goods, Oregon fabrication, and brand-or-equal substitution are common, along with Buy American provisions under the National School Lunch Act and prevailing wage compliance where applicable.
