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, a Commodity code, describes specialty frozen stone fruits procured for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. State and local governments use this code narrowly — the recent opportunities do not include standalone frozen-apricot solicitations, but frozen fruits appear as line items within broad grocery and frozen-food procurements serving school lunch and breakfast programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education, occasionally accompanied by city and county procurement offices acting on behalf of school nutrition services. These jurisdictions source frozen fruits as components of comprehensive meal programs serving thousands of students daily; products must meet USDA nutrition standards, whole-grain and low-sodium benchmarks, and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance, with stringent labeling, allergy-disclosure, and food-safety documentation requirements including HACCP plans and 24/7 recall accessibility.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with a secondary presence in Missouri. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB052266 on June 30, 2026, covering over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products for the Bridgeport Board of Education, with electronic submission through OpenGov and firm fixed pricing through June 30, 2027. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for over 200 fresh and processed produce items with a June 26, 2026 due date, though this procurement emphasizes fresh rather than frozen produce. The City Schools of Decatur issued IFB PE77310NONST2026000000018 on April 16, 2026, for frozen foods and grocery items with sealed bids due May 15, 2026, and the Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri solicited approximately 900 grocery line items on March 31, 2026, with bids due April 29, 2026, through the NUTRIKIDS electronic system. All contracts run July 1 through June 30 and require firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, Buy American compliance at 51 percent domestic content, and delivery Monday through Friday within specified hours to central warehouses and individual school sites.
