UNSPSC 50341587: Frozen tsugaru apples

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

UNSPSC 50341587 Frozen tsugari apples is a Commodity code representing a single product line that state and local governments procure through food service supply contracts for institutional feeding and nutrition assistance programs. Recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct procurement activity under this code; the single matching opportunity (Oregon Department of Corrections' August 2026 solicitation for 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples) indicates that frozen apple products enter supply chains primarily as components within broader food service or commodity procurement vehicles rather than as standalone line items. State procurement offices, institutional food service operations at state hospitals and supported living centers, school districts, and special-purpose agencies appear as the active buyer class. The Oregon procurement specified USDA Commodity Specifications compliance, one-year minimum shelf life, palletized delivery with 2,500-pound pallet weight limits, and pricing at $0.797 per pound for 20-pound cases based on prior-year baseline; the prior awardee was Robbins Sales.

Activity under this code concentrates in a narrow geographic band: Oregon Department of Corrections (Salem distribution center) is the only directly named buyer for frozen apples in the recent-opportunities block, though related frozen produce procurements appear in Texas (HHSC statewide frozen food contracts spanning state hospitals and supported living centers) and Georgia (Hancock County Schools fresh produce solicitation including apple varieties). The Oregon frozen-apple IFB (Solicitation S2910000017684, due August 19, 2026) carried a combined 10 percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference, permitted quantities between 50 and 100 percent of the 40,000-pound volume, and required FOB destination pricing inclusive of transportation and fuel. The code signals limited standalone demand; frozen apples appear more frequently nested within multi-line institutional food service contracts rather than procured as discrete commodity purchases.
