UNSPSC 50341552: Frozen laxton apples

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

UNSPSC 50341552 Frozen laxton apples, a Commodity code, represents a narrow food product line with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes one specific frozen apple variety and does not align with the broader scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under related food procurement codes. Recent opportunities tagged with this or adjacent codes reflect institutional food service purchasing—groceries, fresh and frozen produce, and dairy supplies for schools, hospitals, corrections facilities, and state agencies—but frozen Laxton apples specifically do not appear in any of the recent solicitations reviewed.

The recent opportunities in the frozen and fresh produce space show activity concentrated in school districts and state health and human services agencies across Texas, Georgia, Florida, California, and Missouri. School nutrition programs dominate the landscape, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) all issuing IFBs for fresh and frozen produce, groceries, and food items in the first half of 2026. State-level institutional buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers, and the Oregon Department of Corrections, which solicited frozen fruit berries in April 2026. The activity shows no specific incumbent concentration; awards are typically made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders. Geographic spread spans the South (particularly Georgia and Texas), the Midwest (Missouri), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and California, with no particular regional concentration. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items including multiple apple varieties (due June 26, 2026); Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc.'s June 2026 IFB for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products for child care programs ($969,460.94 estimated value); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' April 2026 ITB for frozen fruit berries at an estimated $35,600 contract value. The code sees activity but frozen Laxton apples as a specific commodity remains unrepresented in documented recent solicitations, suggesting either narrow demand or miscoding of actual purchasing activity.
