UNSPSC 50341505: Frozen braeburn apples

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

UNSPSC 50341505 Frozen braeburn apples is a Commodity code naming a single frozen-apple product line that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, state hospitals, state supported living centers, senior services, and child care facilities. Recent solicitations show procurement concentrated in frozen-apple quantities spanning 40,000 pounds for a state corrections system to multi-line institutional food service contracts where frozen apples are one component among dozens of produce and protein items. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving multiple state facilities, Georgia school districts, and county boards of education are the repeat institutional buyers. Work under this code involves bid competition on firm fixed pricing per pound or per case, compliance with USDA commodity and food-safety specifications, temperature and shelf-life guarantees, and timely delivery to central distribution centers or individual facility sites during specified hours.
