UNSPSC 50341629: Frozen king apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341629 Frozen king apricots is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure frozen fruit products under this code primarily to support institutional food service operations — school nutrition programs, state hospital and residential care facilities, correctional institutions, and child nutrition initiatives. Recent solicitations show procurement officers tagging frozen fruit broadly across institutional dining, with frozen apricots appearing as line items within larger frozen-produce and grocery categories rather than as standalone procurements. The scope of work spans ingredient supply for meal preparation in public schools, state healthcare facilities, Head Start programs, and county detention operations, where frozen fruit serves breakfast, snack, and dessert menus alongside compliance with USDA nutrition standards, CACFP requirements for child care, and HACCP food-safety protocols.

Activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and multi-state institutional procurement networks. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products to state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital, IFB due July 27, 2026; HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB due July 13, 2026; and HHS0016792 statewide for state hospitals and supported living centers, historical spend $4.5 million over three years). Georgia school districts dominate recent freeze-dried and fresh-produce procurement — Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce IFB due June 26, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34 for fresh produce, due April 23, 2026), and Henry County Schools (food items IFB due May 5, 2026) — while specialized procurement occurs at the County of Santa Clara, California (dried fruits and nuts ITB, February 5, 2026). Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, county school boards, special-purpose nutrition authorities like Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP, 32,409 cases of frozen foods estimated at $969,460.94, due June 24, 2026), and correctional facilities. Buy American provisions, 51 percent domestic-content requirements, and firm fixed pricing are standard across school and institutional food service RFPs and IFBs; contract terms typically run one year with renewal options extending two to four years, and awards frequently go to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
