UNSPSC 50341559: Frozen orleans reinette apples

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

UNSPSC 50341559 Frozen orleans reinette apples, a Commodity code, captures specialty frozen apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service at hospitals, state supported living centers, schools, and nutrition assistance programs. The recent solicitation record shows state procurement bodies treating this code as part of broader frozen-produce and grocery-commodity buys rather than as a standalone frozen-apple specification; the Oregon Department of Corrections posted a direct solicitation for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples in August 2026, but most frozen-apple procurement flows through larger food-service contracts spanning frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared items issued by state health and human services commissions, school districts, and county boards of education.

State agencies dominate recent activity, particularly the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which has issued multiple IFBs for frozen food products serving state hospitals and state supported living centers across Texas, with estimated annual volumes reaching $9 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Head Start of Greater Dallas also appear in the recent record. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Florida. The Oregon ODOC procurement (Solicitation S2910000017684, due August 19, 2026) specified frozen sliced or diced apples at a minimum size of 3/8 inch by 3/8 inch meeting USDA Commodity Specifications, with prior-year pricing at $0.797 per pound, and offered combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences totaling up to 10 percent. The Texas HHSC frozen-food procurement (Solicitation HHS0017338V1, due August 18, 2026, estimated $9 million annual volume) included frozen apple products among 106 line items serving 18 qualified ordering entities statewide. Most recent school-district solicitations—Hancock County (Georgia), Early County (Georgia), and Bridgeport (Connecticut)—treat frozen or fresh apples as line items within broader produce or grocery buys rather than dedicated apple awards, reflecting how institutional buyers typically consolidate fruit procurement across multiple vendors or commodity categories.
