UNSPSC 50341517: Frozen crispin apples

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

UNSPSC 50341517 Frozen crispin apples is a Commodity code that names a specific apple variety in frozen form, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to the nomination. The recent opportunities tagged with or near this code actually solicit broad grocery and food service procurement — including fresh produce, frozen vegetables, frozen fruits, ice cream, dried fruits, and comprehensive food supply contracts — rather than crispin apples specifically. School districts, state health agencies, county corrections facilities, and child nutrition programs are the primary issuing bodies, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia school systems (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Douglas County, Decatur, Fulton County), Bridgeport Board of Education, Rockwood School District, Head Start of Greater Dallas, and Santa Clara County appearing most frequently. The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, California, Oregon, and other states, with school nutrition programs driving the bulk of recent activity.

Representative recent opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), covering approximately 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36; the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's National School Lunch Program (due June 30, 2026), spanning over 1,100 line items with Buy American requirements and USDA nutrition standards; and Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for frozen foods, produce, and meat to serve child care programs (due June 24, 2026), with an estimated procurement value of $969,460.94. Texas HHSC HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables (due July 13, 2026) shows a prior-period spend of $1.5 million. School districts across Georgia including Hancock County (fresh produce, June 26 deadline), Early County (food and non-food items, June 8 deadline), and Bulloch County (comprehensive groceries, May 4 deadline) all issued IFBs for 2026-27 school year nutrition contracts with firm fixed pricing and delivery to multiple school sites. The code itself does not align tightly with actual procurement activity — vendors pursuing this space should focus on broader food service distribution and school nutrition supply rather than crispin apples alone.
