UNSPSC 50351602: Frozen organic apache apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351602 Frozen organic apache apricots is a Commodity code representing a single product line within the broader agricultural supply chain that state and local governments purchase for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food operations. The recent contract opportunities posted under this code reveal that state and local buyers are sourcing shelf-stable and fresh food items for school lunch and breakfast programs, senior meal services, and institutional cafeterias—though the specific line items named in recent solicitations emphasize fresh produce, frozen mixed vegetables, proteins, and pantry staples rather than frozen organic apricots as a standalone item. Issuing bodies include school district boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county commissions (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). These buyers typically issue bids through informal written quotes (IWQ), invitations for bid (IFB), and formal RFPs with response windows of two to three weeks, requiring compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and adherence to USDA nutrition standards under the National School Lunch Program.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Connecticut, with Gwinnett County, Hancock County, and Early County in Georgia posting multiple opportunities between May and October 2026, and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut seeking grocery items for school food service in June 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broader food supplies solicitation in May 2026 with a June 22 due date, though the full scope was contained in an attached document. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces) due October 19, 2026 with delivery to Gwinnett Senior Services Center; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, citrus fruits) due June 26, 2026; and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for approximately 300+ food items including meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains due June 8, 2026. All contracts emphasize firm pricing with no fuel surcharges, domestic sourcing preferences, and delivery within specified time windows to school and senior service sites.
