UNSPSC 50351643: Frozen organic rival apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351643 Frozen organic rival apricots is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within the broader frozen fruit category. State and local governments buy this code almost entirely through school nutrition programs serving the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The recent solicitations in the source show school districts procuring frozen and fresh produce as part of comprehensive annual food service contracts rather than as standalone specialty items. Frozen organic produce appears as a subset within much larger grocery and frozen-food RFQs, typically integrated into multi-category purchasing alongside dairy, meats, grains, and other staples. School districts and education boards are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with no state agencies, cities, or county governments appearing in the recent opportunities. Vendors must meet strict compliance requirements including USDA Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content where applicable), HACCP certification, food safety documentation, liability insurance (commonly $1 million per occurrence, $2 million aggregate), E-Verify authorization, and compliance with whole-grain and low-sodium nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act. Products are delivered to central warehouses and individual school sites on firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and vendors accept orders through school-district procurement systems and maintain emergency stock capabilities.

Georgia and Missouri show the most recent procurement activity under this code. Representative opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (62 line items across multiple apple, berry, and vegetable varieties; bids due June 26, 2026 to 10571 Highway 15 North, Sparta, Georgia), the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items for the 2026-2027 school year (sealed bid submission through Bonfire portal due May 15, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. EST), and the Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri procuring over 900 grocery line items (electronic bids due April 29, 2026 at 9:45 a.m. CDT via NUTRIKIDS system). The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia solicited 72 fresh produce items (bids due April 23, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. ET through Bonfire), and the Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative buying group with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending (proposals due March 4, 2026). Activity concentrates in school district procurement offices across Georgia and Missouri, with smaller isolated opportunities from Connecticut and Montana appearing in the recent posting cycle. No standalone frozen organic fruit solicitations appear; this code sees activity only when bundled within larger food service procurement vehicles.
