UNSPSC 50391616: Organic flaming gold apricot purees

The variety of organic apricots known as organic flaming gold apricots which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50391616 Organic flaming gold apricot purees is a Commodity code for shelf-stable fruit products that state and local governments procure as components of school nutrition programs, institutional food service for corrections and state-supported living centers, senior services meal programs, and public food supply. Recent solicitations under this code span school districts, county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and county senior services—issuing bodies that operate centralized food procurement for captive-population feeding. The work being solicited is narrower than the code name suggests: recent opportunities focus on canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and multi-item food commodity packages that include fruits alongside proteins, grains, and vegetables, with deliveries to central distribution centers and institutional kitchens rather than retail channels.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (May 2026 and July 2026, both ITBs due within two weeks), establishing a recurring procurement cycle and historical pricing of approximately $21.83–$21.84 per case for roughly 2,000 cases per cycle. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services posted a supplemental food and consumables IFB covering 210 line items including fresh and frozen fruits across state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide (March 2026, maximum value $4.5 million over three years). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned fruits (October 2026, due October 19, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted two brand-specific and one brand-or-equal RFP for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (June and August 2026, each due within one week of posting). Austin Independent School District solicited proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (June 2026, RFP due July 16, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested bids on over 200 line items of fresh produce including apples and specialty fruits for school year 2026–27 (June 2026, IFB due June 26, 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and Texas HHSC posted broad commodity IFBs with fruit components, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procures cafeteria food products including canned fruits across five geographic distribution zones. Oregon applies a combined 10 percent state-preference adder for goods processed in-state and bidders headquartered in Oregon; Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut enforce Buy American provisions on processed products. Response cycles are tight, typically one to three weeks from posting to deadline.
