UNSPSC 50341628: Frozen katy apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341628 Frozen katy apricots is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely buy this item in isolation; frozen apricots appear as one line item within broader grocery and food service procurement for schools, state hospitals, state-supported living centers, and correctional facilities. The code shows minimal targeted procurement activity. Recent solicitations tag frozen fruit more broadly under parent categories—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital (IFB, bids due July 27, 2026) encompasses approximately 110 food line items spanning proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages as a blanket order; similarly, Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP, sealed bids due June 24, 2026) procures approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products for child care programs, with frozen items evaluated as one component among multiple frozen and fresh categories weighted by unit price, product quality, and delivery. Solicitations do not isolate frozen apricots as a standalone contracting vehicle.

Issuing bodies are diverse and include state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC), independent school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, Decatur City Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Henry County Schools, Savannah-Chatham Public Schools, Fulton County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Hillsborough County Public Schools), Head Start organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas), county departments (Douglas County Schools, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Correctional Food Services), and state prisons (Oregon Department of Corrections). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, New Jersey, California, and Oregon. The code itself does not generate distinct procurement volume; frozen apricots are purchased as components of larger food service contracts where produce and frozen items are aggregated into single RFPs or IFBs. Buyers treat this commodity as a line-item substitutable within frozen fruit categories rather than as a standalone specification, limiting visibility and pursuit opportunity at the commodity tier.
