UNSPSC 50341602: Frozen apache apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341602 Frozen apache apricots is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within state and local food procurement. Recent solicitations under this code show little purchasing activity specifically for frozen apache apricots; instead, the code appears in broader grocery and food service bids where frozen fruit is one line item among hundreds of food products spanning proteins, produce, dairy, and supplies. State and local governments procure frozen fruits primarily through comprehensive food-service contracts for institutional cafeterias, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and detention facilities rather than as standalone commodity purchases.

The issuing-body mix spans state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county school systems (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fulton County Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Henry County Schools, Douglas County School System), municipal school systems (City Schools of Decatur, Bridgeport Board of Education, Rockwood School District), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), county government (Santa Clara County Sheriff Department of Correction), and Head Start programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with additional recent opportunities in Missouri, Connecticut, Florida, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 11, 2026) spanning NIGP classes 385, 390, 380, and 393 with a prior-year historical spend of $1.5 million, and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026) encompassing over 200 line items with firm fixed pricing and delivery to three school locations. The code shows steady activity in school nutrition procurement cycles (typically summer for following school year) and state institutional food service, but frozen apricots specifically appear as one minor line item in much larger multi-category food-supply solicitations rather than as a standalone procurement driver.
