UNSPSC 50351608: Frozen organic castlebrite apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351608 Frozen organic castlebrite apricots is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect specialty frozen fruit procurement. Instead, they capture broad school nutrition food service solicitations spanning hundreds of line items across fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, proteins, and non-food supplies. The code's nominal scope—a single specialty frozen-fruit product—does not align with what state and local school districts are actually buying under this classification. The mismatch suggests either that the code has been applied incorrectly to these opportunities, or that castlebrite apricots represent one line item within much larger food-service contracts. The recent activity shows no standalone solicitations for frozen organic castlebrite apricots or similar single-product fruit procurements.

The nine recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 originate from school districts and a city in Georgia (Douglas County Schools, Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Decatur City Schools, Early County Schools), a city in Connecticut (Bridgeport), a school district in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI in St. Louis County), and a state agency (Georgia). School districts dominate the issuing bodies, each soliciting multi-item food bundles for child nutrition programs spanning the 2026–27 school year. Representative opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery-items bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, 1,100+ line items including frozen products), Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, 200+ produce items), and Douglas County Schools' broad-based food supply and distribution RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026, estimated $9 million annually across 32 schools). All enforce Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content), HACCP documentation, food-recall procedures, firm pricing, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards. Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia, with lesser activity in Connecticut and Missouri. No recent activity supports castlebrite apricots as a standalone or primary procurement category.
