UNSPSC 50341588: Frozen twenty ounce apples

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

UNSPSC 50341588 Frozen twenty ounce apples, a Commodity code, covers single-serving or bulk frozen apple products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and child care centers operating under federal nutrition assistance programs. The recent solicitations show little activity specifically tagged to this narrow code; instead, frozen apples appear incidentally within broader groceries and food-service procurements that span produce categories, proteins, dairy, and consumables. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related food-service codes include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia; Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia; Henry County Schools in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia; City Schools of Decatur in Georgia; Fulton County Schools in Georgia; Early County Board of Education in Georgia; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), child care networks (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and county corrections (County of Santa Clara, California). Texas and Georgia jurisdictions dominate recent solicitation volume, with additional activity in Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, and California.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scale and scope: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017660 on July 13, 2026 (response due July 27, 2026) for groceries covering approximately 110 line items spanning proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and packaging for Big Spring State Hospital, with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB052266 on June 30, 2026 (same-day due date) for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services across 1,100+ line items, requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content and compliance with school nutrition standards; Head Start of Greater Dallas issued IFB 26-GP in June 2026 (due June 24, 2026) for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat meeting Child and Adult Care Food Program standards, with an estimated procurement value of $969,460.94; and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB SN002-2027 in June 2026 (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties across 200+ line items serving three school locations. Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed items in school procurements) and HACCP compliance appear consistently across school-based and institutional food-service contracts.
