UNSPSC 50341505: Frozen braeburn apples

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

UNSPSC 50341505 Frozen braeburn apples (Commodity) covers the supply of frozen specialty apple varieties to state and local institutional and school food service operations. State and local procurement under this code reflects broader grocery and produce procurement cycles driven by school nutrition programs, health and human services facilities, and correctional food services. Issuing bodies span school districts (from single-district purchases to multi-district cooperative vehicles), state health and human services departments, county boards of education, and county correctional facilities. School districts dominate recent activity, with procurement concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Florida. Produce procurement appears within larger comprehensive food and grocery line-item bids rather than as standalone commodity purchases; frozen apples and other specialty fruit are specified as line items alongside fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and pantry staples, typically bundled under state or local food service RFPs and IFBs.

Recent opportunities show frozen fruit specifications embedded in multi-category grocery solicitations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017660 (posted July 13, 2026, due July 27, 2026) for approximately 110 grocery line items serving Big Spring State Hospital, spanning proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce covering over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz), with delivery to three school locations July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016590 (posted April 9, 2026, due April 23, 2026) for one full truckload (approximately 40,000 pounds) of frozen fruit berries in unsweetened, individually quick frozen varieties, with historical pricing at $0.89 per pound. Bidders typically must meet Buy American domestic-content requirements, maintain HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, carry $1 million minimum general liability insurance, and provide delivery within specified temperature and shelf-life windows; contracts are generally one-year renewable for multiple additional terms.
