UNSPSC 50341575: Frozen red stayman apples

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

UNSPSC 50341575 Frozen red Stayman apples, a Commodity code, covers frozen apple products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service — primarily school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county detention facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring frozen apples as part of broader grocery, produce, and food-service supply contracts rather than as standalone line items; the code surfaces in mixed-produce and commodity procurement where apples appear alongside berries, vegetables, and prepared foods for child nutrition, state hospital, and correctional facility operations.

State health and human services commissions in Texas dominate recent activity, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide (HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026; HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026; and HHS0016792 for statewide institutional food service, historical spend $4.5 million over three years). Georgia school districts—including Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce bid SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), and Bulloch County Board of Education (IFB #043025, due May 4, 2026)—account for the second wave of recent opportunities, each procuring 200+ fresh and frozen produce line items including apples for school nutrition programs. The City Schools of Decatur (IFB, due May 15, 2026) and Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts, due March 4, 2026) reflect additional school-district purchasing across Georgia. Institutional procurement also includes Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP for CACFP-compliant grocery products, due June 24, 2026, estimated value $969,460.94) and county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Dried Fruits and Nuts ITB, though outside this code's scope). Geographic concentration spans Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools FFVP RFP, due March 11, 2026), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District, due April 29, 2026), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education, due June 30, 2026), and Oregon (Department of Corrections frozen berries ITB, due April 23, 2026). Buy American and domestic-sourcing preferences appear across most school-district solicitations, with typical contract terms running July 1 through June 30 annually and pricing firm for the initial period, subject to CPI or USDA Agricultural Marketing Service adjustments thereafter.
