UNSPSC 50341553: Frozen lord derby apples

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

UNSPSC 50341553 Frozen lord derby apples (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of actual state and local procurement activity under this code. Recent solicitations tagged with or substantively related to frozen apple products are absent from the available record. The most recent opportunities posted under or near this commodity code span frozen produce broadly—berries, mixed vegetables, and specialty fruits for institutional food service—but frozen lord derby apples specifically do not appear in school nutrition, state hospital, correctional facility, or other public-sector food service contracts issued in the past six months.

State and local procurement in the frozen-fruit and frozen-vegetable space targets school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, New Jersey Department of Human Services), counties (Santa Clara County), and specialized programs (Head Start, Oregon Department of Corrections, Hillsborough County Public Schools FFVP). Institutions commonly solicit frozen produce as one component within larger grocery, food supply, and nutrition program contracts rather than as standalone commodity procurements. The code shows no recent standalone frozen-apple opportunities; the closest parallel is a Texas HHSC IFB for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792) covering 210 line items including frozen foods as a category, and an Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for frozen berries (40,000 pounds of individually quick frozen blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, Marion berries) posted April 9, 2026 with bids due April 23, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and California, with scattered activity in other states. The gap between the specific commodity name and actual procurement patterns suggests either disuse of this code, mistagging in state procurement systems, or a commodity with insufficient recent demand to surface in available solicitations. Firms targeting frozen-produce categories should monitor broader produce and frozen-food classifications rather than rely on this specific code.
