UNSPSC 50341569: Frozen red astrachan apples

The variety of apples known as red astrachan apples that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50341569 Frozen red astrachan apples is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure frozen apples under this code as part of broader food-service procurement, though frozen red astrachan apples specifically appear rarely in recent solicitations. The recent opportunities block shows active procurement of frozen produce, frozen fruits, and fresh produce—categories that often bundle frozen specialty fruits with broader frozen-food purchases—but no solicitation names frozen red astrachan apples explicitly. School districts, state health agencies, and correctional facilities dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham County, Fulton County, Henry County, and Douglas County) issuing the highest volume of recent food-service procurements. State universities, county sheriff's departments, and child care organizations round out the issuing bases.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and California, with secondary activity in Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 Groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), which sought proteins, prepared foods, dairy products, pantry staples, and beverages across approximately 110 line items; Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for grocery products including frozen foods and produce (estimated value $969,460.94, sealed bids due June 24, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB covering multiple apple varieties including Fuji and Granny Smith (bids due June 26, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016590 for frozen-fruit berries (40,000 pounds, bids due April 23, 2026). The code shows strongest recent activity among school nutrition programs seeking fresh and frozen produce on annual cycles, with contract terms typically July 1 through June 30 and renewal options up to five years. Frozen specialty fruits and berries appear in correctional-facility and child-care procurements; frozen red astrachan apples as a named variety do not surface in the recent block, suggesting either low-frequency procurement or bundling under generic frozen-apple or frozen-produce line items in broader food-service RFPs and IFBs.
