UNSPSC 50341507: Frozen bramley seedling apples

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

UNSPSC 50341507 Frozen bramley seedling apples (Commodity) represents a narrow product category within state and local food procurement, but recent opportunities show minimal direct activity under this specific code. The solicitations tagged with this commodity code span broad grocery and food service procurement across institutional buyers—state health agencies, school districts, Head Start programs, county corrections facilities, and transit authorities—purchasing comprehensive food baskets that include frozen fruit among dozens of other items. Issuing bodies range from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (procuring for state hospitals and supported living centers) and multiple Georgia school districts to county sheriffs' offices and Santa Clara County corrections, with activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and California. The mix reflects institutional food service operations rather than focused sourcing of a single frozen apple variety; most opportunities cite frozen fruits generically or as line items within 100+ item procurement schedules.

Representative recent solicitations show this pattern: the Texas HHSC posted IFB HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital groceries (due July 27, 2026) and IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables (due July 11, 2026), both naming frozen products among broad product categories but not specifying frozen bramley apples. The Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery bid (due June 30, 2026) spans over 1,100 line items including frozen products. Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP (due June 24, 2026) solicits approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat. School nutrition bids from Hancock County (Georgia, due June 26, 2026), Early County (Georgia, due June 8, 2026), and Decatur (Georgia, due May 15, 2026) each include fresh and frozen produce among their scope but do not isolate bramley seedlings. The code shows utility as a catch-all classification within larger procurements rather than as a standalone commodity driver. Vendors treating this code as a specific product opportunity should recognize that actual procurement demand flows through multi-item food service tenders where frozen fruit competes on quality, price, and delivery capability alongside competing vendors and alternative fruit varieties, not as a differentiated line item.
