UNSPSC 50341532: Frozen gold supreme apples

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

UNSPSC 50341532 Frozen gold supreme apples, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. While the source contains eighteen recent contract opportunities tagged to this code, nearly all solicitations are for comprehensive grocery procurement spanning dozens or hundreds of line items—proteins, dairy, fresh produce, frozen vegetables, condiments, bakery goods, and consumables—rather than a single frozen apple variety. Two opportunities specifically name fresh apples among broader produce scopes (Hancock County Board of Education's 2026-27 school year fresh produce bid lists multiple apple varieties including Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, and Jazz; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System names Fuji apples at 21,125 cases annually as part of a 72-item produce contract). The code classification does not align with actual market solicitation patterns, suggesting either a categorical misclassification or minimal standalone demand for frozen gold supreme apples in state and local procurement.

State and local government food procurement under the broader grocery and produce categories concentrates heavily among school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional institutions across Texas, Georgia, California, Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, Oregon, and New Jersey. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with twelve of eighteen opportunities from boards of education or school food authorities; state agencies (Texas HHSC, Georgia Department of Education, New Jersey Department of Human Services) issue the remainder. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries to Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, $32,226.36 prior-year baseline), Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for 1,100+ grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (due June 30, 2026, with Buy American requirements at 51 percent domestic agricultural content), Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB for 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce to serve child care programs (due June 24, 2026, total estimated value $969,460.94), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (due June 26, 2026). The code shows no recent standalone frozen apple procurement and warrants reclassification or further investigation for relevance.
