UNSPSC 50341560: Frozen ozark gold apples

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

UNSPSC 50341560 Frozen Ozark gold apples (Commodity) describes a narrow product line, but recent state and local solicitations show little activity tagged to this specific code. The most recent opportunities in the source material span frozen fruits, fresh produce, grocery items, and prepared foods across school nutrition programs, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and child care centers—none of which explicitly mention Ozark gold apples, frozen or otherwise. The sole reference to apples appears in a Georgia school produce bid naming multiple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) without Ozark gold designation, and in a Dallas Head Start procurement for general grocery products. State and local buyers do purchase frozen and fresh produce heavily, but the code's narrow commodity focus does not align with the broader, multipurpose produce and grocery buys actually being solicited.

The issuing bodies soliciting under related produce and grocery codes include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Henry County Schools, Fulton County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers), county governments (Santa Clara County for correctional facilities), municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport), and nonprofit child care networks (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut, with additional solicitations from California, Missouri, Florida, New Jersey, and Oregon. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for groceries including produce for Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 cooperating districts with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One (due March 4, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce across 200+ line items including multiple apple varieties (due June 26, 2026). The code itself shows no recent dedicated activity; vendors pursuing frozen fruit sales should monitor broader grocery, produce, and food-service solicitations rather than this specific commodity code.
