UNSPSC 50341555: Frozen mcintosh apples

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

UNSPSC 50341555 Frozen McIntosh apples is a Commodity code that sits at the bottom tier of the taxonomy. State and local procurement offices use this code sporadically, typically as part of broader grocery and food service solicitations rather than as a standalone commodity. In practice, frozen apples appear as one line item among hundreds in larger food service RFPs spanning produce, proteins, dairy, and supplies for institutional feeding—school nutrition programs, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and Head Start centers. Recent opportunities show frozen fruit embedded within comprehensive food procurements rather than isolated apple buys; the code captures a narrow product class that vendors address as part of multi-category supply agreements.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Schools, Early County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, City Schools of Decatur, Fulton County Schools, Douglas County Schools, Henry County Schools), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring for state hospitals and state supported living centers), Head Start organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and municipal entities (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, County of Santa Clara). The geographic spread reflects activity in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Florida, California, Connecticut, Oregon, New Jersey, and Mississippi, with heaviest recent concentration in Georgia school districts and Texas state facility procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), spanning 110 line items with historical spend of $32,226.36 annually; the City of Bridgeport's solicitation BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the school lunch program (due June 30, 2026, now closed), requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content; and Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products (due June 24, 2026, now closed), with estimated value of $969,460.94. When frozen apples appear in these solicitations, they compete against fresh apples and other frozen fruit within broader produce sections; vendors win by offering comprehensive product portfolios, reliable delivery, and competitive line-item pricing rather than specialization in a single frozen variety.
