UNSPSC 50341535: Frozen granny smith apples

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

UNSPSC 50341535 Frozen granny smith apples, a Commodity code, covers frozen apple products that state and local procurement offices source primarily for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, state hospital and correctional facility kitchens, and child care operations. Recent solicitations show purchasing entities acquiring frozen granny smith apples as part of broader grocery and produce procurement spanning multiple line items, though the code itself names a highly specific product and the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly centered on frozen granny smith apples as the primary commodity. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Early County, Decatur, Fulton County), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Head Start of Greater Dallas, and Rockwood School District in Missouri are active buyers in the frozen and fresh produce space, typically bundling apple procurement into broader food-service RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs that span proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and supplies. School districts dominate this activity; state health and human services agencies managing institutional food service are secondary buyers. Issuing bodies consistently reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors and require firm, fixed pricing throughout initial contract periods, with adjustments permitted only on a six-month or annual basis tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports or Consumer Price Index data and supported by third-party documentation.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple statewide food-supply solicitations (IFB HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital and IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center), both encompassing frozen produce categories and closing in late July 2026, while Georgia school districts across multiple counties (Hancock, Bulloch, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas, Early, Decatur, Fulton) have solicited fresh and frozen produce contracts with response dates spanning February through June 2026. Bridgeport, Connecticut (Board of Education grocery items IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) and Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP, 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat, due June 24, 2026) represent additional recent activity in child nutrition and early care settings. Rockwood School District in Missouri (grocery items for 2026-27, due April 29, 2026) and the Douglas County School System cooperative procurement (RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts, due March 4, 2026) reflect Midwest and broader regional participation. The code shows no recent activity concentrated in a single state or jurisdiction; opportunities cluster among school nutrition programs and state institutional food service, with response deadlines now largely passed.
