UNSPSC 50341652: Frozen tri gem apricots

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

UNSPSC 50341652 Frozen tri gem apricots is a Commodity code representing a single specialized produce item—frozen apricots in a specific variety—that state and local governments procure primarily through institutional food-service channels for state hospitals, state-supported living centers, schools, and county social services departments. The code does not appear as a standalone line item in recent solicitations; instead, frozen apricots surface as one component within broader frozen-produce or food-service line-item procurements. State and local issuing bodies buying under this commodity include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for state hospitals and supported living centers, county boards of education in Georgia, county departments of community services in Georgia, and school nutrition programs in Connecticut and elsewhere. The work solicited spans institutional food procurement, where state and local agencies and school districts source frozen fruits as part of standardized meal programs, canteen services, and nutrition assistance initiatives.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas and Georgia. The Texas HHSC has issued multiple IFBs for frozen food products and supplemental food and consumable products spanning state hospitals and supported living centers statewide—including solicitations HHS0017338 for approximately $9 million in frozen food products (posted July 17, 2026, bids due August 18, 2026), HHS0017660 and HHS0017660V2 for Big Spring State Hospital groceries (posted July 13 and August 13, 2026, bids due July 27 and August 28, 2026), and HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (posted May 19, 2026, bids due March 19, 2026). Georgia school districts and county services departments have posted produce and general food procurement IFBs, including Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce solicitation (posted June 10, 2026, bids due June 26, 2026) and Gwinnett County's informal written quotes for shelf-stable and prepared foods (posted October 13, 2026, quotes due October 19, 2026). New Jersey's Department of Human Services issued a rebid for frozen vegetables supporting distribution and support services (posted May 15, 2026, bids due June 17, 2026). Frozen tri gem apricots as a specific line item does not appear in any of the recent representative solicitations examined; procurement under this code likely occurs as a minor line within larger food-service RFQs or IFBs rather than as a standalone commodity contract.
