UNSPSC 50341567 Frozen pomme d'api apples, a Commodity code, covers frozen apple products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service, including sliced, diced, or specialty-cut varieties supplied to schools, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and county nutrition assistance programs. The Commodity sees active procurement across school districts, state health and human services agencies, counties, and specialized food service programs, with solicitations typically structured as IFBs requiring firm fixed pricing, delivery compliance with temperature and shelf-life specifications, and compliance with federal food safety standards including USDA Commodity Specifications for Fruit and FDA Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements.

Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut represent the primary jurisdictions with recent activity under this code. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples with an August 19, 2026 bid deadline, offering up to 10 percent combined preference for Oregon goods and resident bidders, with historical pricing at $0.797 per pound for 20-pound cases (IFB S2910000017684). Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple institutional food service contracts incorporating frozen apple products as line items within broader frozen-food procurements, including IFB HHS0017338 (frozen food products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, estimated annual volume approximately $9 million, with bids due August 18, 2026) and supplemental food and consumables contracts (IFB HHS0016792V2, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh and frozen produce including apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026 (IFB #SN002-2027), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited food products including produce supporting the National School Lunch Program with a June 8, 2026 deadline. These opportunities uniformly require adherence to Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP documentation, delivery scheduling within specified time windows, and vendor capacity to serve multiple locations on standing orders.
