UNSPSC 50341607: Frozen bulida apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341607 Frozen bulida apricots is a Commodity code reflecting the purchase of frozen fruit products by state and local institutional food service buyers. The recent solicitation activity shows that government agencies rarely procure this specific commodity in isolation; instead, frozen fruits appear as line items within much broader grocery and food service solicitations serving hospitals, state-supported living centers, schools, and correctional facilities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's recent IFB for Big Spring State Hospital (HHS0017660, due July 27, 2026) and its statewide supplemental food procurement for multiple state facilities exemplify the typical buying pattern—frozen apricots would be one of dozens of frozen fruit, vegetable, protein, and pantry items bundled into comprehensive food service contracts. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, county boards of education, city school systems, and specialized institutional food service operations across correctional, Head Start, and public health settings. School districts dominate the recent activity, with solicitations from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), and multiple others all incorporating frozen produce into larger annual nutrition contracts. State-level procurement appears through Texas HHSC (which has issued multiple statewide food service IFBs) and the Oregon Department of Corrections (which sought frozen berries in April 2026).

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri, Florida, Connecticut, California, and Oregon based on recent opportunities. The most representative solicitations illustrate the commodity's actual market context. Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital (closed July 27, 2026) covers approximately 110 line items of groceries, proteins, prepared foods, and frozen products with a historical baseline of $32,226.36 annually, structured as firm fixed-unit-price bids across multiple categories. Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP (due June 24, 2026) procured approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products for child care programs with estimated contract value of $969,460.94 and weighted evaluation criteria favoring unit price. The Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid (due June 26, 2026) and Rockwood R-VI School District's 900+ line-item grocery solicitation (due April 29, 2026) exemplify how frozen fruits are purchased as subordinate line items within comprehensive food-service contracts rather than standalone commodities. Participation as a single product line within these broader institutional purchasing vehicles is the dominant pattern; standalone frozen apricot procurement at the state and local level is not evidenced in the recent opportunity record.
