UNSPSC 50341589: Frozen tydeman red apples

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

UNSPSC 50341589 Frozen Tydeman Red Apples is a Commodity code that does not see relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code names a single frozen apple variety, but the most-recent-opportunities block shows procurement activity across a much broader range of frozen and fresh produce, grocery items, and food service supplies spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and consumables—none of which are specifically tagged to frozen Tydeman red apples. The solicitations cover fresh produce contracts (Hancock County Schools, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, City Schools of Decatur), comprehensive food service bids for institutional and school nutrition programs (Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, Bridgeport Board of Education, Head Start of Greater Dallas, Rockwood School District, Henry County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Fulton County Schools), and specialty frozen items (Oregon Department of Corrections frozen berries, Santa Clara County dried fruits and nuts), but none explicitly reference frozen Tydeman red apple purchases or even frozen apples as a standalone line item.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities represent a wide mix: state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, New Jersey Department of Human Services), county and city school districts (across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, and Texas), county governments (Santa Clara County Corrections, Hancock County Board of Education), and specialized programs (Head Start, school nutrition services, correctional food services). The geographic spread covers Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Missouri, California, New Jersey, and Oregon. However, because the recent opportunities do not actually solicit frozen Tydeman red apples as a distinct commodity line, the code shows no actionable recent procurement signal. A business development professional evaluating this code should investigate whether state and local procurement offices are tagging frozen Tydeman red apples to the commodity tier—or whether they are folding all frozen apple varieties into broader produce family or class codes—before committing resources to pursue this specific commodity.
