UNSPSC 50561652: Non GMO tri gem apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50561652 Non GMO tri gem apricot purees, a Commodity code, describes specialty fruit purees that state and local governments purchase for food service operations in institutional settings—schools, correctional facilities, senior centers, and state-supported living centers. The recent activity under this code, however, shows minimal direct solicitation for the specific product named; instead, issuing bodies are buying apricot purees and similar fruit products as line items within broader food-supply procurements. The actual work covers shelf-stable and refrigerated fruit products (applesauce, purees, bars, and crisps) integrated into larger food-service contracts that may encompass dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, vegetables, dairy, and condiments. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and county social-services departments. Most solicitations employ informal written quotes (IWQ), invitations for bid (IFB), or requests for proposals (RFP) on fixed timelines with delivery to central distribution centers or institutional warehouses.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900 to 4,700 cases per cycle) with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and Oregon-goods preferences worth up to 10 percent. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy using both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes in October 2026 for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including fruit products for the Department of Community Services. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued larger procurements (estimated value $1.5 million to $4.5 million) covering food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers, with apricot purees and similar items appearing as line items within 210-item or broader category-based solicitations. Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps in June 2026. The code sees activity primarily through line-item positioning within multi-category institutional food contracts rather than as a standalone specialty procurement.
