UNSPSC 50341570: Frozen red boscoop apples

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

UNSPSC 50341570 Frozen red boscoop apples, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of frozen specialty apple varieties—typically packed as ingredient inputs to school meal programs, institutional foodservice, and state-agency cafeteria operations rather than retail-destined products. The code sees sustained activity among school districts, state health and human services agencies, county correctional facilities, and regional purchasing cooperatives, with recent opportunities showing apples appearing as line items within broader frozen-produce and grocery solicitations rather than standalone specialty-fruit procurements.

School districts and state agencies across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and California dominate recent activity. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two major IFBs—HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital groceries (due July 27, 2026) and HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables (due July 13, 2026)—both spanning frozen fruits as component line items within multi-hundred-item NIGP commodity class groups. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) under IFB SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026), though this procurement emphasized fresh rather than frozen stock. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education issued IFB BNB052266 for grocery items (due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items including frozen products with Buy American domestic-ingredient requirements and LINQ ordering-system integration. Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc. released IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce under CACFP standards (due June 24, 2026), evaluated on weighted criteria prioritizing unit price and product quality. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) and Fulton County Schools (Georgia) issued produce and frozen-novelty procurement under cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-district consortia. Frozen-apple and frozen-fruit commodity specifications consistently require USDA grading compliance, HACCP certification, 24/7 recall accessibility, firm fixed pricing with limited annual adjustments, delivery within 30 days of order, and integration with electronic ordering systems (LINQ, Bonfire, NUTRIKIDS). Buy American provisions mandate domestic sourcing where feasible, and vendors typically compete on lowest responsive bid or best-value criteria after meeting quality and service-delivery thresholds. The activity reflects steady seasonal and year-round demand for frozen specialty fruits in child nutrition, state hospital foodservice, and child-care program menus.
