UNSPSC 50341533: Frozen golden delicious apples

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

UNSPSC 50341533 Frozen golden delicious apples is a Commodity code covering a narrow product line that state and local governments procure primarily through school food service, institutional facility meal programs, and specialized nutrition initiatives. Recent solicitations show frozen apples appearing as line items within larger blanket food and grocery procurements rather than as standalone contracts, reflecting their role as components of comprehensive nutrition supply chains serving school districts, state health agencies, and child care programs. The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Henry County Schools in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Schools in Georgia), state institutional food services (Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, Oregon Department of Corrections), and specialized nutrition programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Hillsborough County Public Schools FFVP program). Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia (multiple school districts), Texas (HHSC statewide procurement), and scattered activity in Connecticut, Oregon, and Florida. Individual frozen golden delicious apple line items are typically small—measured in cases per year within solicitations spanning hundreds of food product lines—suggesting the code sees modest volume relative to broader produce and frozen-food categories.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026) and IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) exemplify the scope: blanket food service bids encompassing proteins, prepared foods, frozen products, and dairy where frozen fruit or apple varieties may anchor one or two line items among 100+ items total. Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) explicitly lists multiple apple varieties including Golden Delicious across over 200 fresh and frozen produce lines. School nutrition procurements typically require firm, fixed pricing for annual contracts running July through June, delivery to multiple school sites Monday–Friday within specified morning hours, HACCP compliance, and Buy American provisions mandating 51% domestic content in processed goods. No recent opportunities show frozen golden delicious apples as a primary or specialized commodity driver; the code sits as a minor line item within broader institutional and school nutrition supply consolidations where low unit volume and commodity pricing pressure limit individual vendor opportunity capture.
