UNSPSC 50341518: Frozen delicious apples

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

UNSPSC 50341518 Frozen delicious apples (Commodity) covers procurement of frozen apple products by state and local governments, primarily through school nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, and correctional institutions. Recent activity shows frozen apples embedded in broader grocery and produce solicitations rather than as standalone line items, reflecting how state and local buyers typically source frozen fruit as part of comprehensive food service contracts. The code appears as one product within multi-category food supply agreements spanning proteins, dairy, produce, and pantry staples.

School districts and state agencies dominate the issuing-body mix. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple freezer-category procurements (HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital, HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, and HHS0016792 for statewide supplemental food and consumables), while Georgia school districts—including Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Henry County Schools, and City Schools of Decatur—have issued RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce and frozen grocery items. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Head Start of Greater Dallas, Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Fulton County Schools (Georgia) also appear in the recent record. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Santa Clara County (California) round out the jurisdictional spread with corrections-focused procurement. Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut, with scattered activity in California, Florida, Oregon, Missouri, and New Jersey. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (July 27, 2026 response date) for groceries including frozen produce for Big Spring State Hospital, the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (June 26, 2026 response date) for fresh and frozen produce spanning multiple apple varieties and case specifications, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 (April 23, 2026 response date) for fresh produce including Fuji apples at estimated annual volumes up to 21,125 cases. These procurements emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, firm pricing, and direct delivery to school sites or central warehouses.
