UNSPSC 50341601: Frozen ambercot apricots

The variety of apricots known as ambercot apricots that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50341601 Frozen ambercot apricots is a Commodity code that frames a narrow product line — frozen apricots processed for institutional food service — but recent state and local procurement activity shows no direct demand for this specific item. The code appears to be a commodity-level classifier within the broader frozen-fruit category, yet none of the recent solicitations in the database name frozen apricots as a line item or requirement. Instead, state and local agencies are purchasing frozen fruits more generally (notably frozen sliced or diced apples in the Oregon Department of Corrections procurement) or bundling frozen fruit within larger grocery and food-service contracts that span proteins, vegetables, dairy, and prepared items across state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, and county nutrition programs. The issuing bodies active in this space include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (which has posted multiple institutional food-service bids since May 2026), state departments of corrections, county boards of education, county departments of community services, and regional food-service providers operating Head Start and school-lunch programs.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Florida, Connecticut, New Jersey, and North Carolina, driven by Texas HHSC's sustained procurement cadence for state hospital and supported-living-center food supplies, and by school-district and county-nutrition RFBs tied to the National School Lunch Program and breakfast-program cycles. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHSC's August 2026 IFB HHS0017338V1 for 106 line items of frozen food products (baked goods, prepared entrees, proteins, vegetables, juices) with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum potential contract value of $19 million across 18 Qualified Ordering Entities statewide; the Oregon Department of Corrections' August 2026 IFB S2910000017684 for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples with historical pricing at $0.797 per pound; and school-district food RFBs from Hancock County (Georgia), Early County (Georgia), and the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) covering fresh and frozen produce alongside broader grocery portfolios. No recent solicitations explicitly name frozen ambercot apricots or identify it as a distinct procurement line, suggesting the code sees minimal standalone demand in state and local contracting.
