UNSPSC 50561647: Non GMO royal orange apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50561647 Non GMO royal orange apricot purees, a Commodity code, describes fruit purees and specialty food ingredients that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—specifically, shelf-stable food products for senior centers, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The recent solicitations under this code reveal that state and local buyers are sourcing a broader range of fruit products (canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce) alongside specialty processed items, with institutional food service providers—state corrections and health agencies, school districts, and county social services departments—as the primary buyers. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county boards of education and county social services, independent school districts, and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multi-facility systems. The buying pattern emphasizes compliance with USDA commodity specifications, domestic sourcing preferences where mandated by federal school-lunch rules, and firm fixed pricing across annual or multi-year contract periods.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two canned-applesauce ITBs (May 2026 and July 2026, with responses due June 2 and July 31 respectively), establishing a repeat buyer pattern with historical pricing around $21.83–$21.84 per case. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an RFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, and pasta, due October 19, 2026, for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (June and August 2026, both brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026, with a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years). Austin Independent School District posted an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) have both solicited fresh produce and commodity food items for school nutrition under the Buy American provision. Competition is open, with no advertised set-asides, though some solicitations reference Oregon preferences and Texas SmartBuy administrative fees. Delivery timelines typically range from 60–72 hours to 45 days, with FOB destination and prepaid freight standard.
