UNSPSC 50341592: Frozen white joaneting apples

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

UNSPSC 50341592 Frozen white joaneting apples, a Commodity code, sees active procurement across state institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and specialized food distribution, though the recent-opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for this specific frozen apple product—the code appears poorly matched to the actual opportunities tagged under it. The opportunities instead span comprehensive grocery procurement (including frozen produce generically), fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods for state hospitals, school districts, and institutional facilities. State and local governments buying under broader frozen-produce and grocery categories typically solicit through IFBs and RFPs to supply school nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance), state health and human services institutions, Head Start child care programs, county correctional facilities, and public school systems. The issuing-body mix includes state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Education), county boards of education (Hancock County, Douglas County, Bulloch County, Henry County Schools in Georgia; Santa Clara County, California), municipal school systems (Savannah-Chatham, City Schools of Decatur, Fulton County, Hillsborough County in Florida), and specialized agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Texas agencies—particularly HHSC and DSHS—appear repeatedly in the block, as do Georgia school districts.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Florida, California, Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 (Big Spring State Hospital groceries, due July 27, 2026, covering approximately 110 food line items with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36); the City of Bridgeport IFB BID052266 (Board of Education grocery items including 1,100+ line items, due June 30, 2026, subject to 51% Buy American provisions); Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP (frozen foods, produce, and meat products covering approximately 32,409 cases, estimated procurement value $969,460.94, due June 24, 2026); and the Douglas County School System RFP SN26-003 (food supply and distribution, approximately $9,000,000 annual expenditure, due February 18, 2026). Most school-based procurements emphasize firm pricing for the contract period, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions (51% domestic content), weekly or twice-weekly deliveries Monday through Friday within designated morning and early-afternoon windows, delivery to multiple school sites, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards and Smart Snack regulations. Contract terms typically span one year (July 1 to June 30) with renewal or extension options of two to four additional one-year terms at the school district's discretion.
