UNSPSC 50351626: Frozen organic jumbo cot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351626 Frozen organic jumbo cot apricots is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this product primarily through school nutrition programs and county food assistance services, typically as part of larger fresh and frozen produce or shelf-stable food contracts supporting the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, or senior services. The work involves supplying conforming frozen apricots to school districts and county agencies, with products evaluated on specification compliance, packaging integrity, labeling accuracy, and unit pricing. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (such as Hancock County Board of Education and Bridgeport Board of Education) and county departments of community services (such as Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). These entities usually solicit frozen and fresh produce as line items within broader food supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity requests; when frozen apricots are specified, they compete on price and conformance within a multi-item IFB or informal written quote framework.
