UNSPSC 50382043: Rival apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50382043 Rival apricot purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it. The recent opportunities block does not name any procurement expressly for rival apricot purees; instead, the solicitations posted under this code request bids and proposals for broad food and consumable products, fresh produce, canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars and apple crisps, and shelf-stable food items for school nutrition programs, county services, state corrections facilities, and health and human services agencies. The scope of work actually being purchased spans ready-to-eat and prepared foods, frozen entrees, fresh and canned produce, proteins, dairy products, condiments, and kitchen supplies for institutional food service operations across multiple customer agencies and jurisdictions. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state corrections departments (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois), county school districts (Hancock County Georgia, Austin ISD in Texas, Bridgeport Connecticut), county social services departments (Gwinnett County Georgia), and municipal nutrition centers. The code shows activity from institutional food service procurement rather than specialized fruit puree sourcing.

Recent solicitations span the Southeast, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (posted May 18, 2026 and July 10, 2026, due June 2 and July 31 respectively), with historical pricing around $21.82 per case and Oregon goods and resident bidder preferences of 5 percent each. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of TDCJ, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five Texas warehouse regions (response extended to May 4, 2026), covering 382 line items with firm fixed pricing and delivery to six distribution points. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year under IFB with over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal RFP notices for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (posted June and August 2026). Activity under this code aligns with institutional food service procurement across multiple states rather than specialized apricot puree purchasing.
