UNSPSC 50341539: Frozen honeycrisp apples

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

UNSPSC 50341539 Frozen honeycrisp apples is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen apple products procured primarily by school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional facilities to support child nutrition, institutional food service, and inmate meal programs. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing frozen apples as line items within broader grocery and produce procurement—embedded in multi-category food service contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school nutrition programs across Georgia, Florida, and other states, Head Start agencies, and county correctional facilities represent the primary issuing bodies active under this code. Scope varies from frozen whole apples to specialty varieties appearing in specifications for school lunch programs and state-supported living centers, where they compete against fresh and processed produce alternatives in comprehensive food service awards.

Activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and California, driven by school district nutrition programs and state institutional food service contracts. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026) covering approximately 110 food line items with historical annual spend of $32,226.36; the Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties such as Honey Crisp, Jazz, and Fuji (bids due June 26, 2026) serving three school locations across Georgia; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (proposals due March 4, 2026) covering 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Most active procurement is through school nutrition programs emphasizing USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, whole-grain and nutrition standards, and firm pricing with limited escalation clauses tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data.
