UNSPSC 50351605: Frozen organic blenheim apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351605 Frozen organic Blenheim apricots is a Commodity code that covers single-variety preserved fruit products purchased by state and local governments primarily for school food service operations supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. State and local purchasing under this code centers on frozen fruit items as components of broader grocery or produce procurement, where frozen apricots typically appear as line items within larger solicitations spanning dozens or hundreds of food products across categories including fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and prepared items. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies soliciting under related commodity codes, with recent activity showing school nutrition programs in Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut actively procuring frozen and fresh produce. The scope of work reflects institutional food service operations—districts and county education boards source frozen fruits as part of meal preparation programs serving breakfast and lunch across multiple school sites, with deliveries constrained to weekday business hours and cold-chain requirements.

Recent state and local opportunities show freeze-dried or frozen fruit items as subordinate line items within larger food procurement RFPs and IFBs. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) issued an IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items due June 30, 2026, encompassing frozen products alongside fresh produce and meats; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 items with response due June 26, 2026; the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited bids for over 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026; and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) posted an IFB for 72 fresh produce items due April 23, 2026. All solicitations emphasize Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), HACCP compliance, firm pricing throughout the contract year, and delivery to central warehouses and individual school sites. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with additional recent activity in Missouri and Connecticut. The code shows no recent opportunities specifically isolating frozen organic Blenheim apricots as a standalone procurement vehicle; frozen fruit items appear as enumerated line items within multi-category food solicitations tied to school nutrition program budgets and federal meal-reimbursement standards.
