UNSPSC 50341617: Frozen fresno apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341617 Frozen fresno apricots, a Commodity code, covers a narrow product line that state and local governments purchase almost exclusively as part of broader food service procurement for institutional feeding programs. Recent solicitations show that frozen apricots appear rarely as standalone line items; instead, they are incorporated into comprehensive grocery and produce bids that school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional facilities bundle with hundreds of other food products to support child nutrition programs, state hospital meal service, and institutional food operations. The issuing bodies span school districts (both individual and cooperative), state health and human services commissions, and county correctional facilities across multiple states.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed with recent procurement volume concentrated in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), Georgia (multiple school districts including Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, and Douglas County), and scattered representation in Florida, California, Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), which spans 110 line items including frozen fruits and vegetables as part of a $32,226.36 prior-year baseline; the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (bids due June 30, 2026); and Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (bids due June 24, 2026, with a $969,460.94 estimated total procurement value). School nutrition programs dominate the recent opportunity pipeline, typically requiring firm fixed pricing, USDA compliance including Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, and delivery to multiple school sites with strict temperature and timing controls.
