UNSPSC 50341567: Frozen pomme d'api apples

The variety of apples known as pomme d'api apples that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50341567 Frozen pomme d'api apples is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure frozen and specialty fruit products under this code primarily to support institutional food service operations—school nutrition programs, state hospitals, corrections facilities, and child care centers. Recent solicitations show procurement of frozen berries, dried fruits and nuts, and fresh produce alongside frozen apple varieties, reflecting a broader pattern where frozen fruit sits within larger food-service supply contracts rather than as a standalone line item. The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, county and city school districts, county corrections departments, and regional child care networks. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears repeatedly as a major buyer of supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers; Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Henry County, and others) dominate recent activity for school nutrition procurement; and municipal and county food service operations in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, and California round out the mix.

Recent activity clusters in the South and Southwest, with Georgia school districts and Texas health institutions leading the solicitation volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), spanning approximately 110 line items across proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and pantry staples with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36 and a one-year term from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (due June 30, 2026), covering over 1,100 line items with Buy American requirements and HACCP compliance; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), listing over 200 produce line items including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) alongside berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits for delivery to three school locations. Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP (due June 24, 2026) sought primary, secondary, and tertiary suppliers of approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce meeting Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements at an estimated value of $969,460.94. Pricing on school nutrition contracts typically remains firm for the initial contract period or until specified market-based adjustment triggers (CPI, USDA reporting, or manufacturer documentation of increases) are met; all-inclusive unit pricing is standard, and awards generally go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder across single or multiple vendors by line item.
