UNSPSC 50561632: Non GMO lulu belle apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50561632 Non GMO lulu belle apricot purees is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable fruit products procured by state and local government food-service operations, though recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader category of fresh and processed produce and food consumables rather than apricot purees specifically. State and local buyers under this code include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, city school districts, and county boards of commissioners — primarily institutional food-service operations supplying correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior centers, school nutrition programs, and veterans' homes. The work spans purchasing canned and frozen fruit products, applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and shelf-stable food staples for cafeteria and institutional meal service, with contracts typically structured as standing-offer or quarterly food-supply agreements requiring firm pricing, compliance with USDA commodity standards or Buy American provisions where applicable, and FOB destination delivery to centralized warehouse or distribution points.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with notable activity from Oregon Department of Corrections (two ITB solicitations for canned applesauce in May and July 2026), the State of Illinois (multiple quarterly food-supply contracts for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Texas state agencies including the Health and Human Services Commission and Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia, Connecticut, and school districts in Georgia and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026 (historical award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case, with 5 percent Oregon-goods and 5 percent Oregon-headquartered preferences available); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to serve the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 and a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces) with quotes due October 19, 2026 delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. Procurement vehicles include ITB, IFB, RFP, and informal written quotes, with Buy American provisions common in school nutrition solicitations and Oregon preferences appearing in ODOC procurements.
