UNSPSC 50391617: Organic fresno apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50391617 Organic fresno apricot purees is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable fruit purees and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The recent opportunities under this code show state and local buyers purchasing canned and prepared fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh and processed fruit items—as components of broader food service contracts for correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, and state-supported living facilities. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois, and Texas health agencies), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport), independent counties (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and special-purpose state institutions (Illinois Veterans Home). Opportunities are solicited as part of larger commodity food contracts using IFB, RFP, and RFQ notice types, with fruit products typically one line item among dozens in multi-category food procurements; individual fruit-product line items are often evaluated and awarded separately based on unit pricing and vendor performance.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and the broader South and Midwest. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce RFQ (June 2026, due June 26) spanning over 200 produce line items delivered to three school sites for the 2026–27 school year; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (July 2026, due July 31, with 4,760 cases and a historical award of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales) and a second ODOC applesauce bid (June 2026, due June 2, 1,904 cases at a historical price of $21.83 per case to MJ Kellner); Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items statewide, $4.5 million potential value over three years, March 2026 deadline); and Gwinnett County's informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (October 2026, due October 19). Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference for in-state goods and resident bidders; Texas and Georgia school districts apply the Buy American provision (51 percent domestic content for processed items); and most jurisdictions require three vendor references, commercial liability insurance ($500,000–$2 million), USDA compliance certification, and FOB destination delivery with prepaid freight.
