UNSPSC 50341566: Frozen pitmaston pineapple apples

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

UNSPSC 50341566 Frozen pitmaston pineapple apples (Commodity) shows limited direct activity but sits within a broad and active market for frozen produce and specialty fruit products procured by state and local food service operations. State and local governments buy frozen fruits primarily to support institutional food service programs including school nutrition, state hospital and correctional facility kitchens, and child care operations. The purchasing mix spans state health and human services agencies, school districts, county boards of education, Head Start programs, correctional facilities, and county sheriff departments. Recent solicitations reveal that frozen fruits are typically procured as part of larger bundled grocery or produce contracts rather than as discrete line items, often competing alongside fresh produce, frozen vegetables, and other frozen foods under broad NIGP commodity classes (375-15, 380-30, 385-30/42/47/48/95, 390, 393).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and California, with recent solicitations from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (for state hospital and supported living center operations statewide), multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Fulton County), Head Start of Greater Dallas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, and the County of Santa Clara. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs covering supplemental food and consumables (HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026; HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026; and HHS0016792 covering statewide state hospitals and supported living centers) with historical spending ranging from $32,226 to $1.5 million annually per facility. School district procurements typically span 200–1,100+ line items with annual values estimated at $4.4 million (Douglas County), $9 million (food supply and distribution), and $969,461 (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Frozen fruits appear as secondary items within these broader food service contracts, bundled with fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and pantry staples rather than as specialty standalone procurements, suggesting limited standalone pursue opportunity for vendors selling frozen pitmaston pineapples exclusively.
