UNSPSC 50382029: King apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50382029 King apricot purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source block lists thirteen recent opportunities, and none specifically name king apricot purees or products closely resembling this specialty item. Related fruit and food procurements in the source—canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin Independent School District), fresh produce (Hancock County Board of Education), and broader food-service commodities (Texas HHSC, Gwinnett County, Illinois Veterans Homes, City of Bridgeport, Texas TDCJ)—establish ongoing demand for shelf-stable and fresh produce across corrections, education, and state-facility food service. However, none of these opportunities explicitly solicited king apricot purees or comparable specialty-fruit purees.

The code shows no detectable recent activity among state and local buyers. Procurement offices issuing under related Commodity codes in the source span state departments (Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas), county boards (Gwinnett, Hancock), city procurement bureaus (Bridgeport), school districts (Austin ISD), and specialized state agencies (Department of Corrections, Health and Human Services). Their choices—large-volume canned and fresh commodities, brand-or-equal specifications, firm-fixed pricing, and standard food-service compliance (USDA grades, Buy American, HACCP)—suggest that when specialty fruits enter state and local food-service procurement, they tend to be aggregated into broader commodity bundles rather than single-item Commodity codes. If pursuing this code, monitor fresh-produce and canned-fruit RFQs and IFBs from state HHSC divisions, corrections systems, and school districts, and assess whether king apricot purees fit as an "or approved equivalent" within broader produce line items.
