UNSPSC 50341650: Frozen tomcot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341650 Frozen Tomcot Apricots, a Commodity code, comprises individual frozen fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily through institutional food-service contracts for schools, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and social-service agencies. Recent state and local solicitations show active procurement of frozen produce across multiple jurisdictions, though tomcot apricots specifically appear rarely in the recent activity block; instead, frozen vegetables, mixed fruits, and other frozen commodities dominate current bids. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia and New Jersey state agencies), county governments (Gwinnett County, Collier County in Florida), city school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education), and specialized service providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas). School nutrition programs and institutional food-service operations represent the primary demand, with state hospitals and state supported living centers in Texas accounting for significant volume through recurring annual cycles.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC solicitations for state-hospital and state-supported-living-center frozen-food contracts), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Early County, Hancock County schools), Florida (Collier County parks), Oregon (ODOC), Connecticut (Bridgeport schools), New Jersey (Department of Human Services), and scattered single solicitations elsewhere. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017684 for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples due August 19, 2026, with a 5% Oregon-goods preference and 5% resident-bidder preference available; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017338V1 for 106 line items of frozen food products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, due August 18, 2026, with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million; and the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and frozen food items for senior services, with quotes due October 19, 2026. Institutional and school-food contracts typically require firm fixed pricing, 90-percent line-item fill rates, compliance with USDA commodity or nutrition standards, weekly or monthly delivery to multiple locations, and detailed food-safety and recall documentation.
