UNSPSC 50351635: Frozen organic orangered apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351635 Frozen organic orangered apricots is a Commodity code that captures niche frozen fruit procurement by school nutrition programs. State and local governments buy frozen fruit products—including frozen apricots, berries, and mixed frozen produce—primarily to support breakfast and lunch meal preparation under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix under this code, with secondary procurement from municipal food service operations and county education boards. Work solicited includes line-item bids for frozen fruit products delivered to central warehouses and individual school sites on firm-fixed pricing, subject to strict compliance with USDA nutrition standards (whole-grain requirements, sodium limits, zero trans fat), Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic content in processed products), food safety certifications (HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility), and delivery scheduling constraints (Monday–Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with no separate fuel surcharges permitted).
