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

UNSPSC 50341535 Frozen granny smith apples is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of frozen apple products, primarily sliced, diced, or halved varieties, for institutional food service across corrections, healthcare, education, and social services. State and local buyers use this code for bulk frozen apple procurement to supply hospital kitchens, state correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and community services departments. The issuing bodies span state departments (corrections, health and human services, education), county governments, school districts, and municipal social-service agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears repeatedly as a high-volume buyer across multiple state hospitals and supported living centers; the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County (Georgia), and school districts including Hancock County (Georgia) and Early County (Georgia) also solicit regularly under this code.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Oregon, with secondary activity in other states. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017684 on August 5, 2026, seeking approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples for delivery to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem, with bids due August 19, 2026; Oregon offers a combined 5 percent preference for goods fabricated or processed entirely within Oregon and a separate 5 percent preference for resident bidders, for a maximum total of 10 percent. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple overlapping solicitations for frozen food products including apples as part of broader institutional grocery procurements—IFB HHS0017338 (July 17, 2026, bids due August 18) covers 106 line items of frozen food products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum potential contract value of $19 million over the full contract period.

Smaller county and municipal opportunities also surface—Gwinnett County (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and frozen food items (posting PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education solicited over 1,100 line items of grocery items spanning frozen products (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026).
