UNSPSC 50351652: Frozen organic tri gem apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351652 Frozen organic tri gem apricots is a Commodity code that encompasses single frozen fruit products supplied to school nutrition programs and public food services. State and local governments under this code procure frozen fruits including specialty items like tri gem apricots as line-item components within larger grocery and frozen-food solicitations that support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Recent solicitations show frozen fruits are typically bundled with broader produce and grocery offerings rather than bid as standalone line items. School districts and boards of education are the primary issuing bodies, including city school systems, county boards of education, and regional cooperative purchasing groups. Food service specifications across opportunities emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content), Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, products without artificial additives or added sugars, and adherence to food safety protocols including HACCP plans and 24/7 recall accessibility.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with representative opportunities from the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (RFQ BNB052266 for grocery items including frozen products, due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce encompassing 200+ line items, due June 26, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (IFB for frozen foods and grocery items, due May 15, 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with approximately $5.5 million combined spending, due March 4, 2026). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 of the following year with options to extend or renew, require firm fixed pricing with transportation and packing included, prohibit fuel surcharges, and mandate delivery Monday through Friday within specified time windows to central warehouses or individual school sites.
