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 procurement activity under this code centers on institutional food sourcing — specifically frozen fruit products for state hospitals, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, child care operations, and county social services departments. The code sees use primarily in larger volume, multi-item procurement cycles where frozen apricots are one line item among dozens or hundreds of food commodities, rather than as standalone specialty purchases. Issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of education and county commissioners, independent school districts, municipal purchasing offices, and nonprofit child care organizations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears repeatedly across multiple facility food contracts.

Recent activity shows geographic concentration in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Connecticut, New Jersey, and North Carolina. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' August 2026 IFB for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples (bids due August 19, 2026) with a 10% combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 frozen food products solicitation (IFB HHS0017338, bids due August 18, 2026) covering 106 line items of frozen products across multiple state facilities with estimated annual volume of $9 million; and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and frozen food items (informal written quotes due October 19, 2026). School district fresh-produce contracts and state institutional food services dominate the recent solicitation pipeline, with Buy American provisions (51% domestic agricultural content) standard in school nutrition programs and firm fixed pricing typical across all issuing bodies.
