UNSPSC 50341650: Frozen tomcot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341650 Frozen tomcot apricots is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities show the code is being applied inconsistently and does not reflect the frozen apricot product it nominally names. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly describe comprehensive food service procurement — spanning proteins, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and supplies — for schools, state institutions, and correctional facilities rather than apricot-specific commodities. The mismatch between the code's narrow product title and the broad food-service scope of actual solicitations suggests this code either serves as a catch-all placeholder in state procurement systems or is being misapplied to general grocery categories. State and local governments soliciting under this code are school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Rockwood, Douglas County, Fulton County), state institutional buyers (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections), county school systems, and specialized child nutrition vendors (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Hillsborough County Public Schools). Texas HHS has emerged as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for food and consumables across state facilities in early to mid-2026.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Texas, with secondary activity in California, Connecticut, Missouri, Oregon, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for approximately 110 grocery line items for Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026; the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Board of Education's National School Lunch Program, due June 30, 2026; Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meats meeting Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements, due June 24, 2026; the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce line items, due June 26, 2026; and Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services to 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual spend, due February 18, 2026. All recent opportunities require firm fixed pricing, Buy American or domestic-sourcing preferences, HACCP compliance, liability insurance thresholds typically at $500,000 to $2,000,000, and multiple-year contract terms with renewal options.
