UNSPSC 50561649: Non GMO tilton apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50561649 Non GMO Tilton apricot purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of canned and processed fruit products for institutional food service, though recent opportunities reveal a much broader range of fruit-based goods than the code's nominal scope suggests. State and local governments are actively procuring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive food supply contracts for corrections facilities, school districts, state supported living centers, and health and human services agencies. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health and human services, independent school districts of varying size, county boards of education, and special-purpose regional cooperative purchasing vehicles. Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, and Fairfax County Public Schools appear in multiple recent solicitations, indicating repeat procurement activity at both state and district scale.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in the South and Southwest, with notable activity in Texas (HHSC statewide food and consumables, TDCJ cafeteria products, Dallas ISD specialty foods), Georgia (school districts in Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County), Oregon (Department of Corrections canned fruit), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport school nutrition). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, response deadline originally February 23, 2026, maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years) and a follow-on IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, historical value of $1.5 million annually). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453, bids due July 31, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST, historical price $21.84 per case, and an earlier opportunity S2910000016975 with bids due June 2, 2026). The Douglas County School System coordinated a regional cooperative procurement through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (RFP SN 26-004, estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026). Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (bids due April 27, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items and Net Off Invoice products for 2026-27 (bids due April 29, 2026). Buy American provisions appear consistently in school nutrition procurements, requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. State preferences—including Oregon's combined 10 percent preference for goods fabricated or processed within Oregon and Oregon-headquartered bidders—shape competitive dynamics in certain jurisdictions.
