UNSPSC 50351606: Frozen organic bonny apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351606 Frozen organic bonny apricots is a Commodity code that in practice sits within a much broader procurement activity around school nutrition program food sourcing. State and local school districts are using this code (or related produce and grocery codes) to solicit full catalogs of food items—fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, proteins, grains, and supplies—to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. Recent solicitations show districts purchasing hundreds of line items spanning apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, frozen produce, dairy products, meats, and other staples, with strict compliance requirements around Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, whole-grain standards, low-sodium formulations, and nutritional labeling. Issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and boards of education, ranging from single-district procurements to multi-district cooperative purchasing arrangements. The Georgia Educational Cooperative (GEC) buying group, for example, coordinates purchasing across 30 school districts in two regions.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Connecticut. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued two major RFPs in early 2026—one for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two regions (Feb 4, 2026 RFP due Mar 4), and another for main-line food supply and distribution services across 32 schools with estimated annual spending of $9 million (Jan 21, 2026 RFP due Feb 18). The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) solicited fresh produce for 60 school sites under a multi-year contract (Mar 22, 2026 IFB due Apr 23). The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri requested bids on over 900 grocery line items serving approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily (Mar 31, 2026 IFB due Apr 29). City Schools of Decatur, Georgia issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items across ten schools (Apr 16, 2026 IFB due May 15). Early County Board of Education, Georgia requested line-by-line bids for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program (May 11, 2026 due Jun 8). Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year with over 200 line items (Jun 10, 2026 IFB due Jun 26). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut sought grocery items with over 1,100 line items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (Jun 30, 2026 IFB due Jun 30).
