UNSPSC 50351647: Frozen organic royal orange apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351647 Frozen organic royal orange apricots is a Commodity code that captures specialty frozen fruit products purchased by state and local education, nutrition, and senior services agencies. Recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct procurement of the specific product nominated by this code; instead, issuing bodies are buying broad-category frozen and fresh produce as line items within much larger food procurement packages spanning 200 to over 1,100 line items per contract. The Commodity code appears oversized for the actual purchasing pattern—state and local buyers are acquiring frozen fruits and vegetables as components of comprehensive food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity bids. Issuing bodies include school boards (Hancock County and Early County in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and state departments (State of Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, driven by National School Lunch Program compliance and USDA Buy American requirements.

Recent opportunities span Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce (including specialized fruits such as kiwis, mangos, and papayas) due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line food bids covering 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies due June 8, 2026, running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with pricing firm and options to extend. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education, issued a bid for over 1,100 grocery line items with electronic submission due June 30, 2026 through the City's OpenGov e-Procurement Portal, covering the contract year July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 for the Department of Community Services. The State of Georgia posted a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Frozen specialty fruits such as those captured by this code would likely appear as individual line items within these broader procurements rather than as standalone contracts.
