UNSPSC 50351640: Frozen organic poppycot apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351640 Frozen organic poppycot apricots (Commodity) encompasses specialty frozen fruit products procured by state and local education agencies to support school nutrition programs, though recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show little activity specifically for frozen organic poppycot apricots. The recent opportunities block captures a much broader scope of school food service procurement—fresh and frozen produce, grocery staples, dairy, proteins, and prepared entrees for the National School Lunch Program and related child nutrition services. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county school systems, with occasional municipal school departments. The City of 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, and Douglas County School System are the repeat solicitors in the recent record. These jurisdictions solicit annually or seasonally for school-year contracts running July through June, typically on a firm fixed-price basis with Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's electronic bid for grocery items (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, and the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 produce line items for the 2026-27 school year. The Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) represents the largest recent procurement, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One across 18 districts and $1.1 million for Area Two across 12 districts. All procurements require HACCP plans, food recall accessibility, E-Verify compliance, liability insurance (typically $1 million per occurrence), compliance with USDA nutritional standards and whole-grain requirements, and deliveries to school sites Monday through Friday with transportation and packing included in pricing and no separate fuel surcharges permitted.
