UNSPSC 50341545: Frozen jonagold apples

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

UNSPSC 50341545 Frozen jonagold apples (Commodity) represents a niche product line within state and local food procurement that sees limited direct solicitation—the code itself appears only once in recent activity, embedded in a broader school nutrition grocery bid. State and local governments that do procure under this code typically source frozen apples as a component of school meal programs and institutional food service, where they function as a shelf-stable alternative to fresh produce or as a preformed ingredient in prepared meals and snacks. The work is incidental to larger produce and grocery contracts rather than standalone apple procurement, and recent opportunities show far more activity in fresh produce categories (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, and mixed apple varieties by name) than in frozen specialty items like jonagold varieties.

The issuing bodies pursuing related frozen-produce and comprehensive grocery contracts span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County and Savannah-Chatham County systems, City Schools of Decatur, Fulton County Schools, Douglas County and Henry County systems, and Hillsborough County in Florida), state health and human services facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for Big Spring State Hospital and El Paso State Supported Living Center), Head Start and child nutrition programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas), county corrections food services (Santa Clara County Sheriff Department), and state corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections). Texas agencies and Georgia school districts dominate the recent opportunities block. Geographic spread is heavily weighted toward Georgia (Hancock, Bulloch, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur, Fulton, Douglas, Henry, and Early County school systems) and Texas (HHSC facilities statewide), with secondary activity in Florida (Hillsborough), Missouri (Rockwood), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Oregon, California, and New Jersey. 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 110+ line items across proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and pantry staples with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties and other fruits and vegetables (sealed bids due June 26, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million and $1.1 million (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026). The code itself shows no standalone market signal; vendors pursuing frozen-apple supply should target comprehensive grocery and produce contracts where frozen jonagolds appear as line items within institutional food-service procurement rather than expect dedicated frozen-apple solicitations.
