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

UNSPSC 50351618 Frozen organic gold brite apricots, a Commodity-level code, reflects state and local procurement of shelf-stable and frozen produce items for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service. The recent opportunities posted under this code show a dominant focus on bulk food procurement to support National School Lunch Program compliance and meal service delivery across school districts and county social services. State and local buyers under the code include county boards of education (Hancock County, Early County), city school districts (Bridgeport), county social services departments (Gwinnett County), and the State of Georgia. The solicitations span shelf-stable grocery items, fresh produce, frozen products, dairy, proteins, and paper supplies bundled with food service contracts. Contracts are typically awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a firm-fixed basis, often with line-item splits permitted at the buyer's discretion. Vendors must meet Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content where applicable), HACCP certification, E-Verify compliance, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000 depending on the issuing body), and food safety documentation including recall procedures and state health inspection records. Contract terms run annually from July 1 through June 30, with options to extend or renew at the buyer's election.
