UNSPSC 50391653: Organic valley gold apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50391653 Organic valley gold apricot purees, a Commodity code, encompasses fruit purée products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — typically for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, health and human services operations, and similar food-service environments. Recent activity shows that state and local buyers are sourcing shelf-stable fruit products including applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce alongside traditional purees, with buying bodies treating these items as interchangeable components of broader food-supply contracts. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home), and municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport). School districts and state correctional or human services facilities appear as repeat buyers, reflecting steady institutional demand for shelf-stable and fresh fruit in high-volume, regular-replenishment patterns.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Illinois, Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Connecticut, with the most recent solicitations posted between May and October 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued back-to-back ITBs for canned fruit applesauce in May and July 2026, each requesting roughly 1,900–4,760 cases with delivery to Salem and a 5 percent preference for Oregon-processed goods and Oregon-based vendors. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a large IFB (HHS0017449) in June 2026 for food and consumable products to supply state supported living centers statewide, with a prior-period monetary value of $1.5 million and a contract term running September 2026 through August 2027 plus renewal options. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) in October 2026 seeking approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including fruit products for the Department of Community Services, with delivery by December 7, 2026. Austin Independent School District (27RFP004) solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP in June 2026, and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education issued a commodities bid (BNB053266) in June 2026 covering 115 line items with a contract term through June 30, 2027 and Buy American compliance mandates. Pricing in recent awards has ranged from approximately $21.82–$21.84 per case for applesauce, with most contracts structured as firm fixed-price vehicles with delivery FOB destination and payment terms of Net 30–Net 45 days.
