UNSPSC 50341547: Frozen jonathan apples

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

UNSPSC 50341547 Frozen jonathan apples is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy as part of institutional food service procurement for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and child care programs. While the code nominally specifies a single apple variety, the recent solicitations show that state and local buyers purchase frozen apples alongside broader frozen and fresh produce assortments, often as line items within comprehensive grocery or food service contracts rather than as standalone SKUs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Henry County Schools, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Fulton County Schools, Douglas County School System) and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers). One special-purpose federal nutrition program recipient appears (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, California, Oregon, and North Carolina.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), which spans 110 line items including frozen products across proteins, prepared foods, and produce with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026), which itemizes over 200 fresh produce line items including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz); and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for an annual fresh produce contract (bids due April 23, 2026), which includes 21,125 cases of Fuji apples among 72 fresh produce items for delivery to 60 school sites. School districts typically require firm, fixed pricing for the contract term with adjustments permitted only at renewal or on a six-month basis tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data. All solicitations impose Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP compliance, food recall accessibility, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2 million. Payment terms range from Net 30 to Net 45 days post-delivery and inspection.
