UNSPSC 50341614: Frozen earliman apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341614 Frozen earliman apricots (Commodity) is a narrow product code that appears in state and local procurement activity primarily within broader school nutrition and institutional food service solicitations, where frozen fruit products are purchased alongside comprehensive grocery procurement. The recent opportunities show that this Commodity sits within the larger ecosystem of food procurement driven by school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional facilities—not typically as a standalone line item, but as one among dozens or hundreds of line items in grocery or produce bids. Issuing bodies span state departments of health and human services (Texas HHS Commission), county and city school systems (Douglas County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Decatur City Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, and others), individual school districts (Rockwood R-VI, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Fulton County Schools), Head Start organizations, and county corrections departments (Santa Clara County). The work solicited under this code is part of large-scale institutional food supply contracts covering meal preparation for students (breakfast and lunch programs), state hospital patients, state supported living center residents, Head Start participants, and corrections facility inmates.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, New Jersey, Oregon, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's July 2026 IFB (HHS0017660) for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital, which covers approximately 110 line items across proteins, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36; the Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school locations and firm pricing through June 2027; and Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP for Food Supply and Distribution Services, seeking a main-line distributor to supply approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. School districts dominate recent solicitation volume, typically issuing annual competitive bids with firm pricing, Buy American compliance requirements, HACCP plans, delivery to multiple school sites, and contract terms of one year with optional renewals. Texas state health agencies show repeat procurement activity for institutional food service. Most bids are issued under RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB mechanisms with response dates concentrated in the March–July window for school year 2026–27 planning.
