UNSPSC 50341613: Frozen earlicot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341613 Frozen earlicot apricots is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within the broader frozen fruit category that state and local governments—particularly school districts, state health agencies, and county corrections systems—procure for institutional food service. Recent opportunities show that this code sees minimal direct solicitation; instead, frozen apricots are typically embedded within larger, multi-line grocery and food service procurements that span proteins, vegetables, dairy, and prepared foods rather than being requested as standalone line items. State and local buyers treat frozen stone fruits as commodity substitutes within their broader produce and food service contracts, bundled alongside hundreds of other items under broader UNSPSC families like grocery items and frozen foods.

The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments managing institutional food service (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers), school districts across multiple states (Fulton County Schools in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Mississippi, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, and numerous others), and corrections facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, County of Santa Clara). The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, Connecticut, Florida, California, and other states where school nutrition and state-facility food service contracts are active. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Big Spring State Hospital IFB (HHS0017660) with a July 27, 2026 response deadline seeking approximately 110 grocery line items including frozen produce, and the Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB (26-GP) with a June 24, 2026 deadline for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods across multiple categories. None of the recent opportunities identified in the source specifically name frozen earlicot apricots as a discrete line item; frozen apricots appear only as potential components within larger food service commodity procurements. The code shows little activity when pursued as a standalone product, indicating that market pursuit under this code alone would miss the actual transaction patterns—frozen apricots move through state and local procurement as part of comprehensive food service contracts awarded at the Family or Class level rather than at the Commodity tier.
