UNSPSC 50341633: Frozen modesto apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341633 Frozen modesto apricots is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader institutional food service contracts for schools, state facilities, and community service programs. The code itself is highly specialized—naming a single frozen fruit product—but recent opportunities show frozen fruits and vegetables are commonly bundled with dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, pantry staples, and prepared foods within larger food service and nutrition program solicitations. State institutions including school districts, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and county/city nutrition departments are the primary buyers. Issuing bodies span school boards (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county commissioners' offices (Gwinnett County, Collier County), and nonprofit providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas). No single buyer dominates; most agencies solicit food contracts annually or on multi-year cycles with renewal options.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017338V1 for 106 line items of frozen food products across 18 qualified ordering entities statewide, estimated at approximately nine million dollars annually with a maximum contract value of 19 million dollars over the full period (bids due August 18, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items spanning berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits (bids due June 26, 2026); and the State of New Jersey Department of Human Services' rebid T1103 26DPP01307 for frozen vegetables in 12/2 lb. plastic bags for nutrition assistance distribution programs (bids due June 17, 2026). Frozen vegetables and fruits appear frequently as line items within larger food service contracts rather than as standalone procurements. Buy American domestic-content requirements (typically 51 percent or higher), USDA commodity specifications, HACCP compliance, delivery scheduling between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., and firm fixed pricing on per-unit or per-case bases are standard across recent solicitations.
