UNSPSC 50351613: Frozen organic earlicot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351613 Frozen organic earlicot apricots is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within frozen fruit procurement for state and local nutrition programs. School districts and county education boards source frozen apricots primarily as components of breakfast items, lunch sides, and prepared entrees within federally subsidized child nutrition services, subject to USDA Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content and compliance with Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. The product appears across multi-category grocery procurement solicitations rather than as a standalone line item, bundled with hundreds of other frozen fruits, vegetables, proteins, and processed foods that vendors must supply on firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education across multiple states, which consolidate frozen apricot procurement into larger annual nutrition-services contracts covering July-to-June fiscal cycles. When frozen apricots appear as named line items, districts typically specify case size, unit count, and delivery frequency (generally Monday–Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.) to central warehouses or individual school sites.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Georgia school systems. The Douglas County School System procurement for fresh produce and eggs (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce contract (Bid 2634, due April 23, 2026) represent representative examples of school district food service consolidation; the City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery (due May 15, 2026) and the Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) indicate statewide Georgia clustering. School districts in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI, due April 29, 2026) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport, due June 30, 2026) also issued overlapping procurements. The code shows no isolated frozen apricot solicitations; frozen apricots are priced and delivered as line items within omnibus food-supply contracts serving 6,900 to 25,500 students annually, with total estimated expenditures reaching $4.4 to $9 million per district annually. Vendors must carry minimum liability insurance ($1 million general liability), comply with E-Verify and debarment verification, and furnish HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility.
