UNSPSC 50561628: Non GMO katy apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50561628 Non GMO katy apricot purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as component ingredients and finished products for institutional food service operations — canned and fresh fruit products, dried fruit bars, and produce items for school nutrition programs, state correctional and health facilities, and county institutional food services. Recent solicitations show the code capturing a much broader range of fruit procurement than the narrow code name suggests: the Oregon Department of Corrections has bid canned applesauce (ITB S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procures supplemental food and consumable products including fruits for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0016792V2, historical value $4.5 million over three years), and school districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia regularly solicit fresh produce including apples, berries, melons, and citrus under annual nutrition contracts. The buying population spans state agencies (corrections, health and human services), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Muscogee County, Georgia; Douglas County, Georgia; Liberty County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), municipal nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). The mix leans heavily toward school nutrition programs — which dominate activity — supplemented by state institutional food service (corrections, health facilities, supported living centers).

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and the Upper Midwest, with secondary volume in the Pacific Northwest and Mid-Atlantic. Georgia shows the heaviest recent concentration with procurement from at least four school districts (Hancock, Muscogee, Liberty, Douglas, plus Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), Texas appears across multiple issuing bodies (HHSC, TDCJ, AISD, DISD), and Missouri features large school district activity (Rockwood, Fairfax County Virginia). Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' Fruit Applesauce IFB (4,760 cases, five truck loads, FOB destination, historical price $21.84 per case, due July 31, 2026); the Douglas County School System's Fresh Produce and Eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (approximately $4.4 million Area One and $1.1 million Area Two annually across 30 districts, due March 4, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (minimum 76 items required, weekly delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens, contract July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027, due April 27, 2026); and Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services' Grocery Items IFB (over 900 line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, meats, and prepared entrees, delivery Monday–Friday 7:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m., due April 29, 2026). Procurement notices routinely require USDA commodity compliance, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items in school nutrition contexts), firm fixed pricing for contract periods, and commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence. No recent opportunities specify set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise preferences for this code.
