UNSPSC 50351649: Frozen organic tilton apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351649 Frozen organic tilton apricots is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure frozen fruit through school nutrition programs and food service operations, almost exclusively as line items within broader grocery or food-supply solicitations rather than as standalone purchases. The code appears in school district food bids primarily as part of comprehensive produce and frozen-product categories serving National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements. Issuing bodies are overwhelmingly school districts and school systems (city boards of education, county boards of education, regional school districts), with occasional participation by state food-procurement offices. School nutrition departments source frozen fruit items—including frozen organic tilton apricots when specified—to meet Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, whole-grain mandates, low-sodium requirements, and domestic agricultural content thresholds under Buy American provisions.
