UNSPSC 50341557: Frozen newtown pippin apples

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

UNSPSC 50341557 Frozen Newtown Pippin Apples, a Commodity code, describes a narrow product line rarely appearing in state and local procurement activity. The source records show virtually no recent solicitations naming this specific frozen apple variety; instead, state and local governments purchase frozen and fresh produce broadly through integrated food-service and school nutrition programs that span dozens or hundreds of produce line items. The code's nominal scope—a single frozen apple cultivar—does not match actual procurement patterns, where buyers bundle apples (fresh and frozen, multiple varieties) with other produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples in single competitively bid contracts.

State and local issuing bodies purchasing produce include school districts, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, regional purchasing cooperatives, and correctional and child-care facilities across Texas, Georgia, Florida, California, Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon, and Connecticut. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries spanning proteins, produce, and supplies for Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026); the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce solicitation for school year 2027, requiring over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties (bids due June 26, 2026); the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's annual fresh produce contract covering 72 items including Fuji apples in quantities up to 21,125 cases (bids due April 23, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's cooperative procurement through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia, estimated at $5.5 million annual spending (proposals due March 4, 2026). Buyers in these solicitations do not isolate frozen Newtown Pippins as a standalone line item; apples appear as one variety among many in mixed-produce categories. The code shows no actionable recent activity distinct from the broader frozen and fresh produce landscape.
