UNSPSC 50341648: Frozen sundrop apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341648 Frozen sundrop 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 hospitals, correctional facilities, and child care centers. The recent opportunities show a consistent pattern: school districts, state health and human services agencies, and other public institutions source frozen fruit as a line item within broader grocery or food service solicitations rather than through standalone frozen-apricot-specific procurements. The code sits within the broader frozen-produce and institutional-food-service ecosystem where state and local buyers source frozen berries, mixed vegetables, and specialty frozen items alongside fresh produce, proteins, and pantry staples to meet federal nutrition standards (USDA Smart Snack, CACFP, NSLP) and institutional meal requirements.

The issuing-body mix spans school districts (Fulton County Schools, Douglas County Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Henry County Schools, City Schools of Decatur), state health and human services commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring for state hospitals and state-supported living centers), county departments of correction (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department), Head Start agencies, and special districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Texas HHS and state-operated institutional facilities appear most frequently in the recent-opportunities block, with multiple large-scale statewide food and consumable procurements. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (school districts in Fulton, Douglas, Hancock, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch, and other counties), Texas (HHSC statewide procurements for 23 qualified ordering entities), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Florida (Hillsborough County), and California (Santa Clara County). Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB in April 2026 for frozen berries (40,000 pounds, estimated $35,600 contract value). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017660 on July 13, 2026 (bids due July 27, 2026) for groceries including frozen items for Big Spring State Hospital; the broader supplemental food and consumables solicitation HHS0016792 sought 210 line items across 23 qualified ordering entities statewide. Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce (200+ line items, due June 26, 2026), with frozen items frequently co-bid alongside fresh. Frozen fruit appears as a discrete line item or category within these larger institutional procurements but does not drive a standalone competitive market at the state and local level based on the recent-opportunities record.
