UNSPSC 50382050: Tomcot apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50382050 Tomcot apricot purees (Commodity) covers shelf-stable and processed fruit products sourced by state and local governments for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans homes, senior centers, and state health and human services facilities. Recent activity shows procurement of canned and processed fruit items (applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and commodity-grade canned fruits) as components of larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone tomcot-specific purchases; the code captures the category but recent opportunities do not isolate tomcot purees as a distinct line item. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, state veterans homes, county boards of education, independent school districts, county social services departments, and municipal school nutrition offices. Contracts typically run 12 months with optional renewals, use IFB or RFP methods, and require firm fixed pricing inclusive of delivery to multiple institutional sites.

Recent procurement spans Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453 in July 2026 with bids due July 31, and S2910000016975 in May 2026 with bids due June 2, 2026), each for approximately 1,900–4,760 cases delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem; both offered 10 percent total state-resident and Oregon-goods preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables statewide via IFB HHS0016792V2 (due March 19, 2026, max potential value $4.5 million over three years) covering 210 line items including fresh, frozen, and canned fruit products. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce in June 2026 with delivery to three school sites. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly food-order ITBs for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (June and August 2026) on brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content apply across school district procurements; Oregon and Texas offer geographic preferences where applicable.
