UNSPSC 50561611: Non GMO darby royal apricot purees

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO darby royal apricots which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50561611 Non GMO Darby Royal Apricot Purees is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable fruit purees and processed fruit products for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show procurement of canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and mixed fresh and processed fruit items as part of broader food-service buys rather than standalone apricot-puree contracts. Issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education), county nutrition departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and municipal education authorities (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). The code appears across multiple facility types—correctional institutions, schools, senior centers, and state hospitals—where fruit products are ordered as line items within larger food-supply contracts rather than as dedicated sole-source procurements.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with scattered activity in the Upper Midwest and Northeast. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016975 for approximately 1,904 cases of canned applesauce (ITB, closed June 2, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (IFB, closed October 19, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value guideline of $1.5 million (IFB, closed July 13, 2026). Most opportunities are bundled procurements where apricot purees or similar fruit products occupy single or multiple line items alongside proteins, grains, and dairy rather than standing alone; isolated fruit-product line items typically use "brand or equal" specifications to allow substitution among equivalent suppliers. Buy American and domestic-content requirements appear frequently, and several jurisdictions apply state or local set-asides for resident bidders or disadvantaged enterprises.
