UNSPSC 50351637: Frozen organic patterson apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351637 Frozen organic patterson apricots is a Commodity code that maps to frozen fruit products state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs, though the recent solicitations tagged with this code show little activity specifically targeting frozen apricots. Instead, the opportunities reveal that school districts, county boards of education, and municipalities use food procurement codes like this one to acquire comprehensive frozen and fresh produce inventories alongside broader grocery portfolios that include meats, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees. The work under this code involves meeting USDA compliance requirements (including Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content in many cases), adhering to Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, maintaining HACCP food-safety plans with 24/7 recall capability, and delivering products on firm-price contracts with no fuel surcharges permitted. Issuing bodies span school districts (both county-level and independent municipal systems), state procurement offices, and special-purpose nutrition services departments, with school nutrition programs dominating the recent activity.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Connecticut. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, requiring blind testing of samples and delivery to a central warehouse and school sites Monday through Friday. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) with July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract terms. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued an RFP for fresh produce and eggs (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) as a cooperative-buying procurement serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One. Additional activity appears in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District, April 29, 2026 deadline) and across Georgia (City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, and statewide Georgia procurement through May and June 2026). The code shows no standout repeat buyers across the recent block, and no opportunities specifically name frozen organic patterson apricots as a line item.
