UNSPSC 50382034: Moorpark apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50382034 Moorpark apricot purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual goods state and local governments are buying under this tag. Recent solicitations show the code being applied to canned fruit products, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and comprehensive food service supply—none of them apricot purees specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB on July 10, 2026 (due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce under S2910000017453, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case and a 10% combined preference for Oregon-sourced and Oregon-headquartered bidders. State and local issuing bodies applying this code span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Dallas Independent School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and local authorities (City of Bridgeport). The scope of work actually being solicited ranges from narrow categories—individual canned fruit items (applesauce, pears) with firm fixed pricing and multi-truck delivery schedules—to broad food service provisioning contracts spanning hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared foods delivered to school nutrition centers, state facility warehouses, and correctional institutions. Most solicitations use ITB or IFB notice types; some school districts use RFP for food supply and distribution services.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), Texas, Oregon, and the Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), with recent opportunities spanning at least a dozen states and multiple issuing bodies in each state. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a statewide IFB (HHS0016792 and the superseding HHS0016792V2) for supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; the Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million. School districts dominate the recent volume, with Fairfax County Public Schools soliciting a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring bidders to supply 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens, and the Hancock County Board of Education issuing an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) with delivery to three school locations. The code shows consistent activity but a persistent mismatch between the nominal commodity (apricot purees) and what is actually being procured, indicating either systemic miscoding by issuing bodies or a code that functions as a catch-all for fruit and prepared-food products.
