UNSPSC 50382044: Robada apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50382044 Robada apricot purees, a Commodity code, does not map cleanly to the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this designation. Recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly involve canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, and comprehensive food service supply rather than apricot purees specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two invitations to bid for canned fruit applesauce (ITBs with response dates in June and July 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple invitations for broad supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), Hancock County (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) all actively soliciting food products under various code assignments. The procurement mix spans institutional food service—applesauce and canned fruit for corrections facilities, fresh produce and dried fruit bars for school nutrition programs, and broad commodity food supply for health and human services operations.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies managing food service operations. State health and human services commissions in Texas and Oregon account for multiple recent postings, while K–12 school districts represent the largest and most frequent segment. The geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, particularly), Texas, the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), the Midwest (Missouri, Virginia), and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026, $21.84 per case historical pricing), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026, estimated value $1.5 million for the prior contract period), the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services to 32 schools (approximately $9 million annually, proposals due February 18, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (sealed bids due April 27, 2026, serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens). The code shows significant procurement activity but poor alignment with its nominal commodity classification—buyers are using it to tag institutional food service buys across a much wider range of food products than apricot purees alone.
