UNSPSC 50341626: Frozen jumbo cot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341626 Frozen jumbo cot apricots is a Commodity code covering a narrow product line rarely appearing in recent state and local procurement activity. Among the opportunities posted in the past six months, no solicitation specifically names frozen jumbo cot apricots or any direct equivalent. The code shows no relevant recent activity—school districts, state agencies, and county nutrition services soliciting under related frozen-fruit and produce codes are purchasing broad categories of frozen fruits, fresh produce, and grocery items rather than this specialized apricot product type. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests this commodity operates outside the mainstream state and local food service marketplace or is bundled into broader frozen-produce line-item solicitations where individual varietal specifications are not disclosed.

State and local food service procurement is dominated by comprehensive school nutrition and institutional feeding contracts spanning Texas Health and Human Services Commission, county school boards in Georgia, municipal school systems, Head Start organizations, and corrections departments. These buyers issue IFBs and RFPs for grocery items, fresh produce, frozen foods, and dairy products as multi-hundred-line-item buys delivered weekly to central warehouses and individual school sites. Recent examples include Texas HHSC's supplemental food contracts (HHS0016792, HHS0017449, HHS0017660) covering 210 line items statewide with contract values reaching $4.5 million; Bridgeport Board of Education's 1,100-line-item grocery procurement with Buy American and nutrition-standards compliance; Douglas County School System's $9 million annual food supply contract; and Head Start of Greater Dallas's $969,460.94 fresh and frozen foods procurement. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas, Georgia, and Florida. None of these opportunities tag frozen jumbo cot apricots as a distinct line item, and the commodity code shows insufficient market presence to pursue as a standalone revenue stream in state and local food service.
