UNSPSC 50341534: Frozen golden noble apples

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

UNSPSC 50341534 Frozen golden noble apples, a Commodity code, covers one narrow slice of a much broader market — state and local government procurement of fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, and grocery staples for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and nutrition assistance. The recent opportunities show that government buyers tag this code inconsistently; most solicitations under it are actually requesting comprehensive food service contracts spanning dozens or hundreds of line items, with frozen or fresh apples appearing as one item among many (or sometimes not at all). What state and local governments actually buy under this code is mixed grocery and produce contracts for K–12 school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county institutions, where frozen novelty apples or frozen commodity apples may be a single line item, not the primary focus. Issuing bodies span state health commissions (Texas HHSC, State of Georgia, State of New Jersey), school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education, Fulton County Schools, Henry County Schools), counties (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, City of Bridgeport), and special-purpose child-nutrition agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas). The code sees activity across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, California, New Jersey, and Oregon.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the misalignment between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing patterns. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017660 (due July 27, 2026) requesting approximately 110 line items of groceries and food service supplies for Big Spring State Hospital, with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36 and a contract term September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027; Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties but also berries, vegetables, and specialty produce; Head Start of Greater Dallas issued IFB 26-GP (due June 24, 2026) for grocery products estimated at $969,460.94 total value across primary, secondary, and tertiary supplier slots. The Douglas County School System issued RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution services with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 across 32 schools. The code shows robust activity but limited relevance to the specific commodity of frozen golden noble apples — the tag appears to be a residual from broader food service contracts where the code does not meaningfully segment the opportunity. Pursue this code only if your firm has established school-district or institutional food service distribution capabilities; a single-product freeze on golden nobility apples will not sustain pursuit here.
