UNSPSC 50341549: Frozen kidd's orange red apples

The variety of apples known as kidd's orange red apples that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50341549 Frozen kidd's orange red apples is a Commodity code that covers frozen apple products for institutional food service, based on solicitations that span school districts, state health and human services agencies, and specialized nutrition programs. State and local governments procure frozen fruit as a component of comprehensive food service contracts that supply schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and child care programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Henry County Schools, Douglas County School System, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fulton County Schools, and Hillsborough County Public Schools), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and child nutrition organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas). While the code references a specific apple variety, recent solicitations show that frozen fruit procurement is bundled into broader grocery, produce, and food supply contracts rather than solicited as a standalone commodity. The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, California, Oregon, and New Jersey.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries for Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026, which spans 110+ line items across proteins, prepared foods, and related supplies with a historical spend baseline of $32,226.36 annually; the City of Bridgeport's grocery procurement supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, due June 30, 2026, across 1,100+ line items; the Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat to meet Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements, due June 24, 2026, valued at $969,460.94; and the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid for the 2026-27 school year, due June 26, 2026, covering 200+ line items including multiple apple varieties. Frozen fruit commodities appear as line items within these broader food service contracts rather than as standalone procurements, reflecting how institutional buyers integrate frozen products into comprehensive nutrition and food supply agreements.
