UNSPSC 50341625: Frozen jordanne apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341625 Frozen jordanne apricots is a Commodity code that maps narrowly to a specific frozen fruit product, yet state and local governments procure frozen apricots almost exclusively as one line item within much larger grocery and food service contracts rather than as a standalone commodity. Recent solicitations show the code sits within broader food procurement for institutional food service—state hospitals, school nutrition programs, detention facilities, and child care programs—where frozen apricots appear as one of hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, and consumables. Issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Georgia Department of Human Services), school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County and Henry County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Decatur City Schools in Georgia, Early County Schools in Georgia), specialized federal-program operators (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, Oregon Department of Corrections). School districts and state health agencies dominate the activity. School nutrition program solicitations consistently treat frozen fruit as a commodity group alongside fresh produce, canned goods, and proteins, with line-item specifications calling for IQF (individually quick frozen) berries, specialty fruits, and tropical blends; state hospitals and state supported living centers procure frozen fruit in bulk under statewide supplemental food contracts that serve multiple facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and select other states. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two major statewide food solicitations (HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital with bids due July 27, 2026, and HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center with bids due July 13, 2026), both treating frozen fruit as component line items within broader food and consumables procurements. Georgia school districts—Hancock County, Bulloch County, Henry County, Savannah-Chatham County, Decatur City Schools, and Early County Schools—issued separate RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce and grocery items between February and June 2026, with bid deadlines ranging from March through June 2026; frozen fruit appeared in these solicitations alongside fresh fruit and other produce. Head Start of Greater Dallas solicited frozen foods as part of a $969,460.94 procurement (IFB 26-GP due June 24, 2026) covering 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce for CACFP child nutrition. Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for frozen berry products (40,000 pounds of unsweetened IQF berries, bid due April 23, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida solicited fresh specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (cost-plus contract due March 11, 2026). The code shows no standalone frozen-apricot-specific opportunities; all recent activity embeds frozen apricots within commodity groups in multi-line-item food service contracts, typically weighted low relative to core proteins and staple vegetables.
