UNSPSC 50382045: Royal apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50382045 Royal apricot purees (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service commodities for institutional meal programs—none of which are royal apricot purees. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that the code has drifted from its nominal commodity definition. Buyers soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and state health and human services agencies; issuing bodies include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, the Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple Georgia school districts, Connecticut municipal nutrition programs, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The actual scope of work comprises bulk food procurement for institutional cafeterias, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers—including fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables, prepared entrees, proteins, dairy products, and consumable supplies—with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with USDA commodity standards and Buy American provisions where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (1,904 to 4,760 cases, due June 2 and July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (historical value $1.5 million for the prior period, due July 11, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school locations (due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases IFB for board of education nutrition center commodities including eggs, poultry, and produce (due June 26, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026).
