UNSPSC 50561650: Non GMO tomcot apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50561650 Non GMO tomcot apricot purees (Commodity) describes shelf-stable and processed fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations show broader activity in canned and dried fruit items, applesauce, fresh produce, and mixed-commodity food procurement rather than apricot purees specifically. School districts, county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and municipal school nutrition programs are the primary issuing bodies. The work spans food service supply contracts for detention facilities, senior services, veterans homes, state-supported living centers, and K–12 school districts, with vendors competing on unit pricing, compliance with USDA commodity standards, delivery logistics, and brand-or-equal substitution rights. Contracts typically require firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, minimum insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability depending on issuer), USDA grade certification where applicable, and adherence to federal Buy American provisions in school nutrition programs. Pre-bid conferences, addenda cycles, and multi-item line-by-line awards are common; some issuers split awards across multiple vendors and reserve renewal options.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Southwest, with notable activity from Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (May 2026, July 2026), applying 5 percent preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; historical pricing stands near $21.83–$21.84 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide (May 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years), and the Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas (IFB 304T-26-300CF, response extended to May 4, 2026). Gwinnett County, Georgia (October 2026, IFB due October 19, 2026) and Hancock County Schools, Georgia (June 2026, IFB due June 26, 2026) both solicited mixed food and fresh-produce items. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on both brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases (June, August 2026). Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP, July 2026), and Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education sought mixed commodities including fruit and vegetable products (IFB, June 2026). The Commodity code shows active, recurring procurement across multiple jurisdictions and geographies, with responses typically due 7–45 days after posting.
