UNSPSC 50341576: Frozen red york apples

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

UNSPSC 50341576 Frozen red York apples, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within the produce category that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs, institutional food services, and public agency cafeterias. Recent solicitations show frozen apple procurement tied to broader grocery and produce bids rather than standalone apple contracts; the code's scope in state and local practice encompasses frozen apple supply as one line item within multi-category food service solicitations spanning proteins, vegetables, dairy, and prepared foods.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity from the Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Henry County Schools (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), alongside state health and human services agencies in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for Big Spring State Hospital and El Paso State Supported Living Center) and a county detention facility (Santa Clara County, California). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in Florida, Missouri, California, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (posting June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 fresh-produce line items including multiple apple varieties—Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz—with three designated delivery locations and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; and the City Schools of Decatur IFB (posting April 16, 2026, due May 15, 2026) for frozen foods and grocery items supporting the school nutrition program across ten school sites, requiring whole-grain and low-sodium compliance and HACCP certification. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0016792, due February 23, 2026, extended from February 16) covered 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers across Texas, with a maximum potential contract value of $4,500,000 over three years and historical spend guidance of $32,226.36 for prior-year grocery goods at Big Spring State Hospital. Most school district procurements use firm-fixed pricing for the full contract period with price adjustments permitted only at renewal periods or triggered by documented market increases exceeding specified thresholds (typically 3–10 percent), delivery Monday through Friday during morning hours, Buy American compliance requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP and food-recall procedures, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2,000,000, and award on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible or best-value basis.
