UNSPSC 50351642: Frozen organic riland apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351642 Frozen organic riland apricots is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen stone fruits and similar specialty produce items for institutional food service, though the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code predominantly solicit broad grocery and fresh produce bundles rather than frozen apricots specifically. School districts and municipal purchasing offices are the primary issuing bodies, with all recent opportunities supporting child nutrition programs funded through the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The scope of work state and local governments actually buy under related commodity codes spans frozen and fresh produce, meats, dairy, grains, beverages, condiments, and prepared entrees delivered to central warehouses and multiple school sites; individual line items within these contracts specify case sizes, unit counts, and detailed specifications for everything from apples and berries to specialty citrus and leafy greens. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, food safety certifications, liability insurance (commonly $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate), and compliance with USDA nutrition standards including whole-grain and low-sodium requirements are standard across all recent solicitations. Vendors must also provide E-Verify authorization, debarment verification, and accept delivery schedules Monday through Friday between early morning hours and 2:00 p.m. to designated school sites with no separate fuel surcharges permitted.

The recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issuing an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026, through the OpenGov e-Procurement portal; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting bids on fresh produce with over 200 line items due June 26, 2026; the Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri) soliciting bids on over 900 grocery items with electronic submissions due April 29, 2026 using the NUTRIKIDS system; the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing an RFP for fresh produce and eggs to 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined, proposals due March 4, 2026; and the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issuing an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with a sealed bid due May 15, 2026. Contract terms uniformly run July 1 through June 30 with firm pricing and options to extend or renew for one to three additional years, and awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with right of award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
