UNSPSC 50351631: Frozen organic lorna apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351631 Frozen organic lorna apricots is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product category within school nutrition and institutional food procurement. State and local governments buying under this code are actually soliciting broad grocery and frozen food categories that include frozen fruit items as line items within much larger food-service portfolios. The recent opportunities show no dedicated sole-source bids for frozen organic lorna apricots specifically; instead, this commodity appears as one of hundreds of line items in multi-category food service solicitations issued by school districts and cities. Issuing bodies span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), municipal governments (City of Bridgeport), state procurement (State of Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts in Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with districts sourcing hundreds of line items annually under National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program authority, emphasizing Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content minimum for processed products), HACCP compliance, whole grain standards, low-sodium formulations, and no artificial additives or added sugars.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary representation in Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases grocery RFQ (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items for breakfast, frozen products, dairy, and meats with delivery to the central warehouse and school sites; the Hancock County Board of Education fresh-produce IFB (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ produce items and specialty frozen components; the Rockwood R-VI School District grocery bid (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items with an estimated daily lunch and breakfast census of approximately 7,800 students across a district of just under 19,000; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) coordinating supply across 30 districts with estimated combined annual spending of approximately $5.5 million. All contracts run July 1 through June 30 annually, with firm pricing for the full contract term and delivery Monday through Friday during school operating hours. No recent opportunities show this code solicited in isolation; procurement professionals should assess this commodity's strategic importance within broader school-food supply strategies rather than as a standalone supplier opportunity.
