UNSPSC 50391600: Organic apricot purees

The type of organic fruit known as organic apricots which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50391600 Organic apricot purees is a Class code. State and local governments use this code to procure shelf-stable fruit products for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show minimal activity directly tied to organic apricot purees specifically. The recent solicitations tagged to this code predominantly cover broad food commodity procurement — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed fresh produce — rather than apricot purees in isolation. When jurisdictions do solicit under broader fruit categories, they typically specify products by brand, variety (sweetened/unsweetened, smooth/chunky), packaging format, shelf-life requirements, and USDA compliance standards. Food service buyers emphasize FOB destination delivery, firm unit pricing, HACCP plans where applicable, and compliance with Buy American provisions under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act for state facilities and school districts.

Issuing bodies soliciting food commodities include county school systems (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state-operated facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), county social-services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and municipal school boards (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut). Geographic activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut across the most recent postings from May through October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (1,904 cases, June 2, 2026 close, historical price $21.827 per case), the Texas HHSC IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items including fresh and frozen products, March 19, 2026 close, $4.5 million potential value over three years), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites (June 26, 2026 close). Direct solicitations for organic apricot purees as a standalone commodity line are not evident in the recent opportunity set; activity under this code appears limited relative to broader produce and food-service categories.
