UNSPSC 50341509: Frozen cameo apples

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

UNSPSC 50341509 Frozen cameo apples (Commodity) codes products purchased by state and local governments—primarily school districts—that aggregate frozen produce sourcing into single-vendor or multi-vendor food-service contracts supporting school nutrition programs, institutional dining, and federal child nutrition initiatives. The recent activity does not isolate frozen cameo apples as a line item; instead, the code appears within broader frozen-produce or grocery buys where apples (fresh, not frozen) are itemized by variety alongside other fresh produce, and frozen berries, frozen vegetables, and other frozen specialty foods are procured on separate line items or as part of all-frozen categories. The scope of work under the code, as evidenced by recent solicitations, encompasses procurement of frozen and fresh produce, grains, proteins, dairy, prepared entrees, condiments, and food-service supplies to feed student populations, incarcerated individuals, and residents of state-supported facilities. Issuing bodies span school districts across Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, and Texas; state departments of corrections and health and human services; county boards of education; and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative and Head Start organizations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for food and consumables spanning state hospitals and state-supported living centers.

Procurement activity concentrates in the South, with Georgia school districts (Fulton County, Bulloch County, Henry County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County, Douglas County) and Texas state agencies (HHSC facilities in El Paso and Big Spring) representing the most recent and frequent solicitations. Secondary activity appears in Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program RFP due March 11, 2026), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education IFB due June 30, 2026), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District, 900+ line items due April 29, 2026), California (Santa Clara County Sheriff Department ITB for dried fruits and nuts due February 5, 2026), New Jersey (Department of Human Services frozen-vegetables rebid due June 17, 2026), and Oregon (Department of Corrections IFB for frozen berries due April 23, 2026). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 Groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (110 line items, bids due July 27, 2026, prior-year baseline $32,226), Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce under CACFP requirements (sealed bids due June 24, 2026, estimated value $969,460), and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items including 21,125 cases of Fuji apples annually (bids due April 23, 2026). School districts dominate the code's recent activity, with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content minimum for processed items) and federal nutrition compliance (Smart Snacks, whole-grain requirements, sodium and sugar limits) as common mandatory specifications across most RFPs and IFBs.
