UNSPSC 50382037: Patterson apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50382037 Patterson apricot purees (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block tags ten solicitations under this code, but none of them actually solicit Patterson apricot purees or any narrowly defined single apricot product—instead, they request broad food commodity bundles including proteins, produce, dairy, bakery items, condiments, and miscellaneous shelf-stable foods. The code itself names a specific branded product (Patterson brand apricot purees), but the tagged opportunities are soliciting dozens or hundreds of line items across multiple food categories at the same time. This mismatch suggests either that the classification engine has applied the code too broadly to food-service procurement generally, or that Patterson apricot purees historically move as part of larger food tenders rather than as standalone line items.

State and local food-service buyers—county boards of education, departments of corrections, state-supported living centers, and municipal nutrition programs—are actively soliciting food commodities in the June-through-October 2026 window, primarily in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (June 2026, Georgia), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals statewide (May 2026, 210 line items, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce by case (May and July 2026, Georgia, 4,760 cases), and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (June 2026, Texas). If Patterson apricot purees are part of a buyer's commodity basket, they would likely appear as one line item within a larger multi-category IFB or RFP rather than as a standalone procurement—meaning sellers should monitor broad food commodity solicitations rather than expect dedicated tenders for this specific product.
