UNSPSC 50341524: Frozen flower of kent apples

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

UNSPSC 50341524 Frozen flower of kent apples, a Commodity code, addresses state and local procurement of frozen apple products for institutional feeding programs, though recent activity shows minimal direct solicitation aligned specifically with this product specification. State and local governments procuring under the code are acquiring frozen apple products—typically sliced, diced, or whole—for school districts, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and social service agencies. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples meeting USDA Commodity Specifications for Fruit, with delivery to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for frozen food products spanning institutional facilities statewide, encompassing frozen fruits among broader frozen commodity lines. Issuing bodies are predominantly state agencies (Texas HHSC, Oregon DOC), state hospital and supported living center networks, and county or school district food service operations. The code appears to represent a narrow product line within broader frozen-food procurement families; most recent opportunities tag frozen apple products within larger frozen-foods or general grocery solicitations rather than as standalone line items.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted S2910000017684 on August 5, 2026, soliciting frozen sliced or diced apples with bids due August 19, 2026, offering combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-resident bidder preferences totaling up to 10 percent, with historical pricing at $0.797 per pound for 20-pound cases and prior awardee Robbins Sales; delivery was required within 45 days of order receipt to the Central Distribution Center in Salem. Texas HHSC has issued overlapping frozen-product solicitations (HHS0017338V1 posted July 17, 2026, HHS0017660 variants, HHS0017799, HHS0017798) serving state hospitals and supported living centers across the state with estimated annual volumes of $9 million to $32,000+ per facility; these solicit frozen foods on a broadline basis, typically favoring single awardees. The code appears lightly trafficked relative to broader frozen-vegetable and frozen-food commodity codes; recent opportunities suggest frozen apples compete for volume within general frozen-produce lines rather than sustaining dedicated procurement cycles.
