Recent solicitations under this code span fresh and processed fruit items — applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and mixed fresh produce — acquired through IFB, RFP, and informal quote processes. The work involves straightforward product sourcing rather than manufacturing or value-added production; buyers specify brand names, USDA grades, packaging, shelf life, and delivery schedules, with award typically to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a per-unit or per-case basis. Issuing bodies are predominantly state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, city school nutrition programs, and county senior services departments.
