UNSPSC 50351641: Frozen organic queen apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351641 Frozen organic queen apricots is a Commodity code capturing a narrow product line — frozen organic stone fruit, specifically queen apricots — that state and local governments procure almost exclusively as part of broader school nutrition program food supply contracts. The recent solicitations show that frozen apricots rarely appear as standalone line items; instead, they surface within comprehensive grocery and produce bids supporting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements. When present, they must meet USDA Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed products), Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and delivery specifications tied to school nutrition service calendars. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education, with occasional participation by municipal school systems and state-level procurement offices managing nutrition service contracts.

School districts in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri represent the geographic concentration in recent activity. Representative opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) soliciting over 1,100 grocery line items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services with bids due June 30, 2026; the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) requesting bids on over 900 line items for child nutrition services with electronic submissions due April 29, 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas, with proposals due March 4, 2026. These contracts emphasize firm fixed pricing inclusive of packing and transportation, HACCP compliance, food recall accessibility, and delivery windows aligned with school operating hours, typically Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
