UNSPSC 50561653: Non GMO valley gold apricot purees

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

UNSPSC 50561653 Non GMO valley gold apricot purees, a Commodity code, describes specialty fruit purees and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — specifically school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, and state supported living centers. The code appears in recent solicitations alongside broader food-service categories (canned and fresh produce, dairy, proteins, bakery items) where purees function as ingredients or finished products for meal preparation and food service operations. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and county social-services departments. These jurisdictions typically solicit food items through informal written quotes (IWQ), invitations for bids (IFB), and requests for proposals (RFP), with responses evaluated on price per unit, vendor compliance with food-safety standards (USDA grades, FDA compliance, HACCP plans), delivery capability, and references demonstrating prior food-service experience.

Recent opportunities show food-service purchasing across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce including apples and berries for the 2026–27 school year with delivery to three school sites by June 26, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for September through December 2026, with brand-specific and brand-or-equal options and proposals due August 24, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two invitations to bid for approximately 1,904 to 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, with bids due June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026, respectively, offering combined Oregon-sourcing and resident-bidder preferences totaling 10 percent. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years and an initial contract term through August 31, 2026. Activity in this code remains modest and episodic rather than continuous; the recent sourcing footprint is fragmented across state correctional, health, education, and senior-services agencies with no dominant repeat buyer.
