UNSPSC 50351627: Frozen organic kandy kot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351627 Frozen organic kandy kot apricots is a Commodity code that bears little relation to the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code nominally identifies a single specialty frozen fruit product, yet the solicitations tagged with this code—spanning grocery procurement, fresh produce, frozen foods, and comprehensive food-service supply—encompass hundreds of line items across diverse food categories including meats, poultry, dairy, grains, vegetables, condiments, and paper products. The mismatch suggests either broad tagging at the family or class level or a classification error in the source data. When read against the actual solicitation scope, this code does not isolate frozen organic apricots as a standalone procurement category; instead, it appears to collapse into general food-service supply procurement for school nutrition programs and municipal food purchasing.

State and local education agencies—primarily school districts and boards of education, alongside one municipal purchasing office and one state agriculture office—dominate recent activity under this code. School districts soliciting grocery and fresh-produce contracts include Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), with the last named appearing twice for separate food-supply and fresh-produce RFPs. The City of Bridgeport issued an IFB for 1,100+ grocery line items due June 30, 2026; Hancock County issued an IFB for 200+ fresh-produce items due June 26, 2026; Early County issued an IFB for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies due June 8, 2026; City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen and grocery items due May 15, 2026; Rockwood R-VI issued an electronic bid for 900+ grocery items due April 29, 2026; Savannah-Chatham issued an IFB for 72 fresh-produce items due April 23, 2026; and Douglas County issued an RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (estimated annual spend $4.4 million to $1.1 million per area) due March 4, 2026. Activity concentrates in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with secondary presence in Connecticut and Missouri. Buy American provisions requiring 51% domestic agricultural content, HACCP compliance, E-Verify authorization, and firm pricing throughout the contract term (typically July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027) appear across all solicitations.
