UNSPSC 50341504: Frozen baldwin apples

The variety of apples known as baldwin apples that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50341504 Frozen baldwin apples, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product category within state and local food procurement—specifically frozen sliced, diced, or whole Baldwin apples for institutional and program feeding. State and local governments procure frozen apples primarily through department-level solicitations tied to facilities operations, school nutrition programs, and state healthcare systems. Recent solicitations show that while the code's title specifies Baldwin apples, buying entities often issue broader frozen-apple specifications allowing equivalent sliced or diced frozen varieties, and the work involves straightforward goods procurement with no custom preparation or installation required. Issuing bodies span state departments (health and human services commissions, departments of corrections), school districts, and county governments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer across multiple state supported living centers and state hospitals; Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia state agencies, and county school boards represent additional recurring procurement activity.

Oregon Department of Corrections issued a representative recent opportunity (Solicitation S2910000017684, bids due August 19, 2026) for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples meeting USDA Commodity Specifications, with a prior award to Robbins Sales at $0.797 per pound and a 5% combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference available. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple frozen-food and groceries solicitations (HHS0017338V1 for $9 million estimated annual volume, HHS0017660V2 for Big Spring State Hospital, and HHS0017798 for Mexia State Supported Living Center) spanning July through August 2026, all covering frozen produce categories including frozen vegetables and prepared foods alongside apples where applicable. The New Jersey Department of Human Services issued a frozen-vegetables rebid (26DPP01307, due June 17, 2026) for Mixed Vegetables in frozen form, reflecting state-level demand for frozen commodity produce. Activity concentrates in Texas (multiple state institutional facilities), Oregon (corrections system), Georgia (county boards of education), and New Jersey (state nutrition assistance programs), with bids generally due 30–45 days from posting and contract terms running one year with optional renewals.
