UNSPSC 50351624: Frozen organic imperial apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351624 Frozen organic imperial apricots (Commodity) encompasses specialty frozen fruit products sourced for school meal programs and institutional food service. State and local governments buying under this code procure frozen organic stone fruits as ingredients for child nutrition services, typically as line items within broader grocery or frozen-food contracts that support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code are predominantly school districts and school boards — including independent districts, county systems, and multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles — rather than state agencies or municipal governments. School nutrition departments use this code to specify frozen fruit inputs that meet USDA compliance standards, whole-grain and low-sodium requirements, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, with products delivered to central warehouses and individual school sites on firm fixed pricing with transportation included.

Recent activity centers on Georgia and Connecticut school districts. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, the Douglas County School System (serving 30 districts across two Georgia regions through the GEC Buying Cooperative), the City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (on behalf of Bridgeport Board of Education) in Connecticut, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and the State of Georgia have all posted frozen food, fresh produce, and grocery solicitations since late January 2026. These represent IFBs and RFPs with response dates ranging from February through June 2026. Frozen organic imperial apricots appear as one line item among hundreds in multi-category grocery and frozen-food bids; the SCCPSS fresh-produce contract (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) and the Hancock County fresh-produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) exemplify the volume and specification rigor typical under this code, with vendors required to maintain HACCP plans, provide 24/7 recall accessibility, comply with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), carry liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence, and accept firm pricing throughout the contract period.
