UNSPSC 50391646: Organic royal blenheim apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50391646 Organic royal blenheim apricot purees is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses shelf-stable and fresh fruit products—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce—procured by state corrections departments, school districts, county social services, and state health agencies for institutional food service. Recent state and local opportunities under or closely adjacent to this code show food service buyers acquiring not only the nominal apricot-specific commodity but a broader range of fruit products suitable for mass feeding operations, with procurement driven by budget cycles and institutional dining calendars. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Veteran Affairs, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county and municipal boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), county social services (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and special facilities (Texas HHSC state supported living centers). No single vendor or repeat buyer dominates the activity.

The geographic spread covers Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, and Connecticut based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases per award, bids due June 2 and July 31, 2026, with 5 percent Oregon-fabrication and Oregon-headquarters preferences); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting bids on supplemental food and consumables including fresh, frozen, and canned fruits for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (210 line items, IFB response deadline March 19, 2026, maximum three-year value of $4.5 million); the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces for senior services (response due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois issuing weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple quarterly procurements, proposals due August 24 and June 17, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issuing an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty fruits for school year 2026–27 (sealed bids due June 26, 2026, with Buy American provisions); and Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP response due July 16, 2026).
