UNSPSC 50391637: Organic patterson apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50391637 Organic patterson apricot purees is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, maps poorly to the work actually being solicited. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service supply contracts — none of which are apricot purees, organic or otherwise. The code shows a systematic mismatch between its nominal scope and active purchasing; the opportunities instead reflect school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services facilities buying mainstream food products for child nutrition, institutional food service, and facility meal programs.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Dallas ISD), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas TDCJ), and county school systems (Muscogee County, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases for Bridgeport Board of Education). Activity concentrates in the South and Southwest — Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois — with substantial ongoing procurement in school nutrition and institutional food service. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026) with historical pricing at $21.84 per case; the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 11, 2026) with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026) covering 45 schools plus distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries and firm fixed pricing for one year with four optional renewals. The code appears to be a tagging artifact; business development professionals should verify the actual commodity or service need directly with the issuing body rather than rely on this code designation.
