UNSPSC 50341605: Frozen blenheim apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341605 Frozen blenheim apricots (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code is narrowly specified for a single frozen-fruit variety, but the opportunities posted since January 2026 soliciting under food and produce codes span broad grocery, produce, and food-service procurement at school districts, correctional facilities, and state health agencies—none specifically naming frozen blenheim apricots.

The recent opportunities tagged to food-service UNSPSC codes reveal robust activity across school nutrition programs, state institutional food service, and cooperative purchasing. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two statewide IFBs (HHS0017660 and HHS0017449) for supplemental food and consumable products to state hospitals and supported living centers, with historical spend around $1.5 million to $4.5 million annually; Bridgeport Board of Education posted a 1,100+ line-item grocery IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) supporting the National School Lunch Program; Head Start of Greater Dallas solicited primary, secondary, and tertiary suppliers of frozen foods, produce, and meat under IFB 26-GP ($969,460.94 estimated value) for child care programs; and school districts in Georgia, Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut regularly issue RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, frozen foods, and grocery items with annual spend ranging from $600,000 to $9 million. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, county and municipal school boards, correctional facilities, and nonprofit child-care and Head Start providers. Geographic concentration is highest in Texas (multiple HHSC procurements), Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Bulloch County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham, Fulton County school districts), with additional activity in Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, California, Oregon, and New Jersey. None of the posted opportunities explicitly requests frozen blenheim apricots as a line item; broader frozen-fruit and frozen-produce categories appear in multi-hundred-line-item solicitations, but the Commodity code's specificity to a single cultivar does not map to current state and local buying patterns.
