UNSPSC 50382043: Rival apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50382043 Rival apricot purees, a Commodity code, does not map cleanly to the recent state and local contract opportunities present in the source material. The code nominally identifies a single product line—apricot puree branded as "Rival"—yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, canned pears, fresh produce, eggs, broad food service commodities for correctional and health facilities, and school nutrition staples ranging from proteins to vegetables to bakery items. These opportunities reflect the actual buying patterns of issuing bodies, which are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Dallas ISD) and state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas TDCJ, Georgia). The code shows substantial activity but little specificity to apricot puree itself.

School districts dominate the recent opportunities, issuing RFPs and IFBs for annual or multi-year food contracts spanning hundreds of line items delivered to central warehouses and individual school sites. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas state health systems also procure regularly under this code, buying canned fruits and supplemental foods for institutional feeding. Geographic concentration is evident in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, DISD, Dallas County), Georgia (Douglas County schools, Liberty County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham), Oregon (ODOC), and scattered activity in Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center ($1.5 million historical value, due July 13, 2026), the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (multiple deliveries to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia districts ($4.4 million Area One spending estimate, proposals due March 4, 2026). The code's actual scope encompasses institutional and school food service procurement far broader than its nominal commodity name suggests.
