UNSPSC 50341636: Frozen palstein apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341636 Frozen palstein apricots (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code. The source records show school districts, state health agencies, county corrections, and child nutrition programs soliciting comprehensive food service contracts spanning hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, frozen foods, pantry staples, and consumable supplies—not specialized frozen-fruit procurement. The code's nominal scope (frozen apricots) appears mismatched to the actual buying patterns in the dataset.

The recent opportunities reflect fragmented issuing bodies across education, corrections, and human services agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple statewide food and consumable bids (HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital, HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, and HHS0016792 for supplemental food statewide), each spanning 200+ line items with historical annual spend ranging from $32,000 to $1.5 million per facility. School districts in Georgia dominate the volume—Bulloch County, Early County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, and Douglas County have all issued IFBs and RFPs for school nutrition groceries, produce, and food distribution in the past four months. Beyond Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited 900+ line-item grocery bids (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa posted an RFP for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery (26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026), and Head Start of Greater Dallas sought primary and secondary grocery suppliers (IFB 26-GP, due June 24, 2026 at $969,460.94 estimated value). New Jersey Department of Human Services issued a frozen-vegetable partial rebid (26DPP01307, due June 17, 2026), and Oregon Department of Corrections solicited frozen berries in bulk (S2910000016590, due April 23, 2026). Santa Clara County, California, posted a five-year dried-fruits-and-nuts contract for corrections food services (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026). Most school nutrition contracts run July 1 through June 30 with one to four optional renewal years, firm pricing through the initial term, Buy American or domestic-sourcing provisions, HACCP and food recall compliance, and Net 30–45 payment terms. Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and the broader Southeast, with secondary activity in California, Missouri, and Pacific Northwest jurisdictions.
