UNSPSC 50351646: Frozen organic royal blenheim apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351646 Frozen organic royal blenheim apricots is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local opportunities, frames the work as procurement of shelf-stable and fresh produce items for nutrition programs rather than a narrow frozen-fruit specialty purchase. State and local governments buying under this code purchase broad food-supply contracts that include fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and shelf-stable staples to support school lunch and breakfast programs, senior services meal programs, and municipal food distribution. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county boards of education, with occasional activity from county social services departments and state procurement offices. Vendors must meet nutrition standards compliance (including the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act and USDA Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), provide HACCP plans, carry liability insurance, complete E-Verify authorization, and accept delivery scheduling constraints tied to school meal-service operations. Pricing is firm fixed with no separate fuel or freight surcharges; awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with single- or multi-vendor splits at the buyer's discretion.

Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty fruits, with bids due June 26, 2026.
