UNSPSC 50351655: Frozen organic york apricots

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

UNSPSC 50351655 Frozen organic york apricots is a Commodity code that represents a narrowly defined product line within the broader food and produce procurement landscape. State and local governments buying under this code source frozen specialty produce — in this case, a specific variety of apricot — as part of broader school nutrition and food service contracts. However, the recent solicitation activity indexed to this code does not isolate frozen organic york apricots as a line item or named product. The actual scope of work across state and local opportunities spans comprehensive grocery and fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, with frozen produce embedded as one category within multi-hundred-item annual contracts that also encompass fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, dairy, grains, condiments, and supplies. School districts and boards of education are the primary issuing bodies, complemented by municipal governments and state purchasing offices supporting food service operations that must meet USDA standards, Buy American provisions, whole-grain specifications, and allergen restrictions.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. The Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education posted an IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items with a due date of June 30, 2026; the Hancock County (Georgia) Board of Education solicited fresh produce spanning more than 200 line items due June 26, 2026; the Douglas County School System in Georgia issued an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with proposals due March 4, 2026; and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited over 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026. The City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, and the State of Georgia also posted concurrent food procurement notices during the same window. These contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 of the following year, require firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, demand HACCP compliance and food recall procedures, and permit award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
