UNSPSC 50341631: Frozen lorna apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341631 Frozen lorna apricots is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity currently occurring under this classification. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly cover broad grocery and food service supply contracts rather than a specific frozen fruit product. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, city school districts, county school systems, state supported living centers, and correctional facilities are posting IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive food procurement spanning proteins, dairy, produce, pantry staples, and prepared foods—with frozen fruits appearing as line items within much larger commodity bundles rather than as standalone procurements. The code sits misaligned with actual buying patterns: state and local jurisdictions are not purchasing frozen lorna apricots as a distinct procurement category but instead are bundling frozen fruits into multi-hundred-line-item grocery solicitations serving institutional food service operations.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities statewide, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Fulton County, Henry County, and Douglas County school systems), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and California (County of Santa Clara). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 posted July 13, 2026 (bids due July 27, 2026) for FY27 groceries covering 110+ line items for Big Spring State Hospital; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB BNB052266 posted June 30, 2026 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services; and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 posted June 10, 2026 (bids due June 26, 2026) for 200+ fresh produce line items across multiple apple, berry, vegetable, and specialty fruit varieties. The code shows little relevant recent activity when evaluated against its nominal scope—the mismatch between the frozen lorna apricot specification and the broad institutional food service procurement patterns suggests this code was applied mechanically to catch-all solicitations rather than reflecting actual buying intent for this specific product line.
