UNSPSC 50351609: Frozen organic clutha gold apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351609 Frozen organic Clutha gold apricots is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not involve frozen organic apricots or any apricot products. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for broad grocery and food service procurement — school nutrition programs, institutional food supply, fresh produce, frozen foods, and ancillary supplies — where apricots may be one item among hundreds on a line-item bid list. The work actually being solicited is comprehensive food service provisioning for school districts and municipalities, covering produce, proteins, dairy, grains, prepared items, and non-food supplies to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood School District, Douglas County School System, City Schools of Decatur) and a city procurement office (Bridgeport). The State of Georgia also posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid, though the full scope was attached as a separate document. School districts appear across multiple contract cycles, indicating sustained annual demand for food service provisioning.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Decatur) and includes secondary activity in Connecticut (Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood). Recent representative solicitations include the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items, bid due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport IFB for grocery items spanning 1,100+ line items with Buy American requirements and firm pricing through June 30, 2027 (bid due June 30, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP for food supply and distribution services covering approximately 32,000 meals daily with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (proposals due February 18, 2026). Vendors responding under this code typically face Buy American provision requirements (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content where applicable), HACCP compliance, product safety certifications, E-Verify authorization, liability insurance (commonly $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate), and firm fixed pricing throughout the contract period, with most school food contracts running July 1 through June 30 annually.
